"The waterhole is essential for the jungle animals, so it's a real problem when a carnivorous crocodile takes up residence. None of the animals will risk entering the waterhole, until the five flamingos come up with a cunning plan in this delightful story of working together. There's a wonderful twist at the end of the story, that children will love. This is the first in the Five Flamingos series."

"The repetition and alliteration in the text will support the less experienced reader and children reading the pictures will enjoy having greater awareness than the crocodile."
