Miss Mingo and the First Day of School

32 pp. | Candlewick | August, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-2410-1 $15.99
(3) K-3 Miss Mingo (the flamingo) has a classroom menagerie of self-conscious students. To get the ball rolling on the first day, she begins by sharing a fact about herself--and all flamingos: "I always eat upside down." Her students respond in kind: "I may be tiny, but I'm super strong," Ant announces. Whimsical watercolor and ink illustrations are entertaining and informative.
