Why 4 Roars? The humor was great! I loved the wacky title of the book!
Critical Analysis: The unusual title and premise of the book was too much to resist.
“The team of Karl Beckstrand, author, and Ashley Sanborn, illustrator, have created a really funny, poetic book filled with charming alliterations. Kids will delight in the words, the story, and the humorous drawings. We see the flamingos doing all kinds of fun things, such as flying and trying to escape being hit by an airplane, swimming in all kinds of ways, and dancing different dances. For example:
How did the Flamingos get pink?
'Perhaps it’s the pink
in their pomegranate drink."
How do they fly?
"Row by row, on they go, wing to toe,
What a show.”
Why do they do what they do?
"Why do they dance and prance and dive?
For the simple joy of being alive!'"
~~Israel Drazin
Design: The design left a little something to be desired, but the overall fun vibe was worth the read.
"Wonderfully silly"
~~Amy's Bookshelf Reviews
