Excerpt:
Once upon a time there was a Pink Flamingo named Pinky. Pinky lived in the logoon with all his friends; Hoppy the Frog, George the Pelican, Mrs. Yellow the Duck, and Mr. Slow the Turtle.

One day Pinky was eating his favorite food, diatoms, when Happy the Frog hopped over to Pinky and noticed Pinky was standing on one of his long legs.
