Today I am delighted to be hosting the final day of the blog tour for Flamingo Fashion by Samantha Hunter

Synopsis

Freddie and Fifi are two fashionista flamingos who decide to open a fashion boutique and style other animals on the African savanna in fluffy pink feathers. The outfits they create have silly results and calamitous outcomes, teaching the valuable lesson that we are perfect, just the way we are!

“A caper of a story that encourages creative self-expression and promotes the invaluable message that we are perfect exactly as we are.”

Available on Kindle and Audible, The audio version is narrated by actor Michael Maloney.

My thoughts

This is a gorgeous story and absolutely brilliantly read by Michael Maloney. There is wonderful rhyme and rhythm throughout and a superb range of vocabulary that will provide lots of new, interesting words for your little story lovers. The illustrations (by Maggy Roberts) are lovely – bright, eye-catching and will certainly raise a few giggles (my personal favourite was the groovy giraffe!).

As well as a highly enjoyable story there is also a message beneath the surface. We don’t need to hide behind fancy costumes (although they can be fun for a while) but we, each and everyone of us, are simply wonderful in our own skin, just as we are.

This is a wonderful story to share with children aged 3-6.

For a sneak peek, whilst not take a look at the extract below.
