Publisher's Synopsis
Why is Frankie Flamingo white when all the other flamingos are pink?
He's not waiting around to find out-he's off on a big adventure!

Along the way, Frankie meets a variety of colorful animals-from a proud blue heron to a sleepy white opossum-each with their own opinion on what color is best.
