If there's an elephant in the classroom -- along with an alligator, a
koala, a centipede, an octopus, and who knows what else -- it must be
Miss Mingo's class on the first day of school! Miss Mingo, a flashy
flamingo, starts off the year by inviting all creatures big and small to
share something special about themselves. Did you know that Cricket
hears with his legs, Snake smells with his tongue, and Frog enjoys
eating his own skin? Visit this multi-species classroom for a nonfiction
storybook filled with learning -- and laughter.
