JONNIE WILD's interest in conservation was first stimulated by his own children's distress at learning about destruction of the rainforests. He set up the Yorkshire Rainforest project, which planted new forest trees in an Amazon area as big as Yorkshire, and now has similar projects all over the world. He works with environmental scientists at the University of Leeds, supporting collaborative research and action in conserving forest habitats for the benefit of both animals and humans.

"The waterhole is essential for the jungle animals, so it's a real problem when a carnivorous crocodile takes up residence. None of the animals will risk entering the waterhole, until the five flamingos come up with a cunning plan in this delightful story of working together. There's a wonderful twist at the end of the story, that children will love. This is the first in the Five Flamingos series."
* Parents in Touch *
"The repetition and alliteration in the text will support the less experienced reader and children reading the pictures will enjoy having greater awareness than the crocodile."
* CLPE Book of the Month *
"First in a series of original, humorous animal tales featuring African wildlife."
