Mrs. Fitz's Flamingos is an engaging read for the younger bunch. It helps children understand that seniors need friends, too. Mrs. Fitz has a great memory of her trip and finds that a plastic flamingo makes her feel better; so, she saves to buy two flamingos every week. The rest of the story is fabulous. It introduces a child to the value of saving and buying a little when you have it versus buying a lot and owing for it. A great short read.

We used this book for exploring math. I have read it several times to my children and a group of children. The thrill of adding up how much she spent during the book kept the children on edge. Some of the children could really imagine the flamingos flying away. I recommend this book for working with adding money, mulitiplication, and just a good read.
