(the critical role of food chains in the natural world), "Let Your Imagination Fly," "Literary Craft," "Squawk & Talk" and "Wondrous Words." Each exercise follows the text of A FLAMINGO NAMED FLANNIGAN. The final section, Teaching Resources, provides suggestions for instruction, answers for each exercise, quizzes and a final test, "Flying Solo." The tone of COMPANION GUIDE FOR A FLAMINGO NAMED FLANNIGAN is relaxed and informal. As one learning resources professional put it:"There's a voice here like someone is curled up on the sofa reading to a child."--L.G. Dawson
