A fun read

Mrs. Fitz's Flamingos is an engaging read for the younger bunch. It helps children understand that seniors need friends, too. Mrs. Fitz has a great memory of her trip and finds that a plastic flamingo makes her feel better; so, she saves to buy two flamingos every week. The rest of the story is fabulous. It introduces a child to the value of saving and buying a little when you have it versus buying a lot and owing for it. A great short read.
