Educational Themes:
The illustrations introduce you to lots of animals who live in the jungle. Even though it lacks a sense of geography in the book itself, it does open the door to introduce kids to geography and the places where there are jungles.

Big Kid Reaction
This is a cute story. Marco is a life-of-the-party kind of flamingo, up for any adventure. Spanish and English text are parallel on the page, making it easy to read both versions simultaneously. The illustrations are cute, but undercut the potential to educate kids about the world. For example, where is this jungle?

Pros:
Young readers and listeners will love hanging out with Marco. From laughing with hyenas to rolling in the "mud" with the hippos, the story begs kids to join in the fun.
Cons:
Marco refers to his "snow adventure" several times, so you may want to read that book first.
