About this deal

All in all, I need more books about Hotel Flamingo. And I so would love to visit! What kind of things will Anna do next? What kind of animals will we meet? Will the cook be nicer? What about the guy who runs the rival hotel, what will he do? Kirjan juoni on kliseinen ja ennalta-arvattava. *Juonipaljastus* Eräs hotellivieras paljastuu lopussa syylliseksi erilaisiin sabotointeihin, joilla yritettiin ilmeisesti saada hotelli Flamingo näyttämään huonolta kuninkaallisten silmissä. Hänet oli palkannut tihutöihin tietenkin kateellinen Herra Villipeto. Matkan varrella oltiin jo selätetty monta haastetta, kuten hommata kuninkaallisille pingviineille jäävuori uima-altaaseen, vaihtaa verhot ja maalata seinät tietyillä väreillä. Kaikki oli saatu ihme konsteilla onnistumaan, ja Anna osoittaa todellista sinnikkyyttä nuorena yrittäjätyttönä. On Animal Boulevard the snow is finally melting after a long, quiet winter and Hotel Flamingo is ready to embrace the new season and new guests. Anna knows she needs to come up with a plan to get the hotel buzzing again! And what does Hotel Flamingo have that no one else has? One of the best chefs in town - Madame Le Pig! The temperature is rising, which can only mean one thing: it's summer! Bookings are up at Hotel Flamingo, and the hotel is getting busy. Anna is excited to receive word from King Penguin royalty asking to holiday in their Royal Suite. But there's a lot to get done, and it's not easy to manage the needs of the penguins when there's a heatwave on and a huge ice shortage. We all really enjoyed HOTEL FLAMINGO by Alex Milway and there was nothing about this book that we did not love - a complete success in our house!!

When young Anna inherits a dilapidated once-grand hotel from her great-aunt Mathilde, she's determined to restore it to its former glory. But this is no ordinary hotel - all of her staff and guests are animals! As she soon finds out, though, running an animal hotel is no easy task. Can Anna make Hotel Flamingo a success once more? Crammed full of characterful animal illustrations with accents of zinging pink, this flamboyant early chapter book is a splendid, unpreachy testament to the power of hard work’– The Guardian If you love Hotel Flamingo, try BIG SKY MOUNTAIN, the newest series of animal adventures from Alex Milway! The story is very imaginative and enjoyable and I can see this book being a big hit with the kids. It shows with hard work just what can be achieved if you all pull together. The story starts off promising, it's still all very cute, very heart-warming... The royal penguins are coming to visit, so the staff at Hotel Flamingo have to make all sorts of arrangements to accommodate them, at the expense of other guests. Not every animal likes the cold temperature or the huge iceberg in the swimming pool...It's the last of the autumn days before winter sets in, which means it's time for CARNIVAL! And Hotel Flamingo, the sunniest hotel in town, is all set to join the party. Animal Boulevard is a riot of colour, and every establishment is preparing a float for the annual procession. Anna is determined to win the prize for Hotel Flamingo for the best display. A glum bear and a sleepy-looking lemur greet Anna, the new owner of Hotel Flamingo. The new heiress is saddened to find the hotel looking run-down and empty; there have been no guests for years. Hotel Flamingo is a gentle hug of a book that's perfect for young boys and girls, and its adorable characters will put a smile on every child’s face. It’s a sweet story of working together, being optimistic and knowing anything is possible. On Animal Boulevard the snow is finally melting after a long, quiet winter and Hotel Flamingo is ready to embrace the new season and new guests. Anna knows she needs to come up with a plan to get the hotel buzzing again! And what does Hotel Flamingo have that no one else has? One of the best chefs in town - Madame Le Pig! In a stroke of inspiration Anna decides that the hotel will put on a Battle of the Chefs. Madame Le Pig will go head to head with prestigious Animal Boulevard chefs Peston Crumbletart and Laurence Toot-Toot in a thrilling live cooking show - and there will be an accompanying feast for all who attend.

And this is where I thought that oh, this is going to provide us with internal conflict. The whole point of Hotel Flamingo was that everyone is welcome, and now everything looks like people are not welcome anymore as Hotel Flamingo gets fancier. I thought that Anna has to really think about her values and stuff, and I thought wow, this is a pretty heavy subject for kids: is sacrificing your values for work worth it? When young Anna inherits a dilapidated once-grand hotel from her Great Aunt Mathilde, she’s determined to restore it to its former glory. But this is no ordinary hotel – all of her staff and guests are animals!

Meet Anna, she has just inherited a wonderful hotel named Hotel Flamingo... well one day it was a beautiful hotel, but now it is pretty dilapidated and she has a lot of work to do. I loved how she immediately set to work, not daunted by the amount of work or the state of the hotel. Nope, this girl is brimming with ideas, and she is not afraid to get dirty or tell people what to do. I loved what kind of plans this girl had, she had so many of them. For instance calling the flamingo theatre group to help out, or when she finds unexpected visitors in the pool she handles that in a way that benefits everyone.
