"We flamingoes can be found in the thousands. We are known as a flamboyance. We do everything together: feed, flock, sleep, and grow. When it's time to find our mates, we frolic in a fabulous fox trot. Together, we dance." A terrific narrative perfect for reading aloud highlights both collective nouns and the power of togetherness in the animal world. Striking mixed-media illustrations showing animals that thrive in groups accompany the finely crafted patterned text in which "Together, we..." is repeated to underscore an aspect of collective behavior for the chosen creatures. From a cloud of bats to a mob of mongooses to an implausibility of wildebeests and more, there is much to delight in, while the idea of "together we are better" offered in the opening pages is repeated at volume's end, this time showcasing human behavior on a page spread in which diverse individuals gather in small groups in a park. A brief note emphasizes the value of our collective togetherness on the earth and the importance of protecting all creatures. (Ages 5-9)
