Fussy Flamingo by Shelly Vaughan James


Mami and Papi can't convince Lola to eat shrimp. Until she does, she'll stay gray. Lola doesn't want to eat shrimp. She would rather eat other things. 

Thoughts: This book is too funny. It reminds me of Sylvie by Jennifer Sattler. I like the South American setting. It's different and makes Fussy Flamingo unique. The illustrations are colorful. I especially like the expressions on the flamingos' faces. I think this book will appeal to many parents of picky-eaters. 

Themes: Birds, Flamingos, Fruit, Colors 

(Illustrated by Matthew Rivera, Sourcebooks, 2020.)
