Flamingo Bingo by Heidi Stemple

It’s Flamingo Bingo night and all the birds gather to play. Rhyming text takes the reader through the initial part of the game. Suspense is implied as different birds hope to get a bingo. The bingo cage spills the bingo balls. In the chaos that follows, one bingo number is called and the Toucan calls bingo.

The story is choppy and hard to follow with an abrupt ending making it less than ideal for emergent readers.
