I loved this book about a curious flamingo desperate to learn more about the mysterious world of snow. When Marco is no longer satisfied with the explanations provided by thos birds who flew south for the winter, he decides the only way to learn about snow is to go see some himself.
The story is funny and light, and the illustrations are magnificent. The bright colors and animated faces are bound to keep younger readers interested- I especially enjoyed the surprise illustration at the end of the book.
My mom is a Kindergarden aide and is looking forward to bring this book into school to read to her class at storytime. I would say that the "ages 9-12" recommendation on this page should read "ages 3-6" instead.
