    Animal facts have never been so funny, in this picture book that celebrates curiosity and communication

    Frank E. Armadillo is an Expert Explorer Extraordinaire who can’t wait to tell you all about their latest discovery: pretty, pretty princess birds! Frank E. knows what flamingos eat (pink cotton candy), where they live (only the swankiest, most exclusive beaches), and even why they stand on one leg (they're practicing to be ballerinas, of course). Except here comes a real-life Flamingo! In this laugh-out-loud and fact-filled series-opener, Frank discovers they don't know what they don't know, and that real experts ask questions.
    “Funny and conversational . . . silly, smart, and sincere, this title blends humor, design, and science into an engaging celebration of lifelong curiosity.” —School Library Journal

    “Humorous [with] a larger message that continuing to ask good questions is the mark of a ‘true expert’ . . . Facts replace fancies in this droll Q&A.” —Kirkus

    “Hilarious and engaging . . . with important lessons about learning and curiosity. . . This title highlights the importance of admitting when we are wrong, asking questions, and doing research, reminding readers that getting facts straight helps us better understand and appreciate the world around us.” —Booklist
    Brandon Todd (btoddbooks.com) is an animator, bringing art to life on the page and screen. He is the illustrator of The Bear Must Go On, written by Dev Petty.
