My daughter got Hotel Flamingo Holiday Heatwave for her birthday a few months ago and we only just read it all together over the last week or so. This easy chapter book of 180 pages is written by Alex Milway. It’s charmingly illustrated in 3 colors, and with chapters of only a few pages each, it’s a great read aloud for kids as young as 3 I think, and definitely good for a first grader or second grader to read independently.
We meet a cast of animal characters and a little girl, Anna Dupont, who together run a hotel in Animal Boulevard. Their are some seriously fun animals to meet, like Lemmy the Lemur and Madame Le Pig, who is obviously a pig and is the hotel’s chef.
We pick up the story when the king and queen send their envoy to book a stay at Hotel Flamingo for the first time. They have a very long list of demands, and it’s a race for Anna and her staff to get it all done. While they’re trying very hard to be as good as The Glitz hotel for the royal family, they seem to be having some trouble. It seems as though some of their plans are being sabotaged, but who would want to do that?
I see from Amazon that there are 4 books available in this series, and I enjoyed this one so much, I am seriously tempted to buy the others to read to the girls on our upcoming vacation.
