Flamingo Sunset is a nonfiction book that has the best illustrations. This isn't the typical nonfiction book though. The author shows the life of a flamingo- starting with an unhatched egg turning into a flying flamingo, and back to the beginning of the cycle again.
This book would be a good book to show your students that not all nonfiction books have to be "cut and dry." Nonfiction books can be fun and exciting- not boring like one would normally think. This book also has great facts about flamingo's and their adaptation. With other activities and lessons, this book could connect with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for fourth grade- specifically Competency Goal 1, which states "The learner will make observations and conduct investigations to build an understanding of animal behavior and adaptation."
