'It's near-impossible to chose a favourite character in Alex Milway's utterly charming Hotel Flamingo; a marvellous menagerie, where the chef is a pig, the handyman a giraffe and where cockroaches are welcome paying guests ... a tale of co-operation, ingenuity and fun, all brought to life in Milway's pitch-perfect words and pictures. Funny though it is - and it's certainly that - it's also truly heartwarming and uplifting. I'd love to book a room there myself.' PHILIP ARDAGH, bestselling author
An enchanting four-book series featuring the adventures of Anna and her array of animal friends
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! Anna soon rises to the challenge. Whether it's a flamingo, a penguin or a hippo knocking at the door, Anna is ready to welcome them all - with the help of her trusty sidekicks T Bear the doorman, Squeak the friendly mouse elevator, and Lemmy the lemur receptionist ... As she soon finds out, though, running an animal hotel is no easy task. Can Anna make Hotel Flamingo a success once more?

"First of all, I have to say that the cover of this book is absolutely stunning and myself and the kids found ourselves looking at it over and over again. And I'm delighted to say that the story inside is just as beautiful!
When Anna arrives at the grand hotel that she has inherited, it isn't long before she realises that it isn't really all that grand anymore. But there is something extra special about this place and Anna is determined to make it shine again. With the help of her staff, the wonderful animals that make the hotel feel like home, they will work hard together to make their dreams come true.
The characters were a huge hit with us and we had a soft spot for so many of the cute and crazy animals that showed their quirky and strong personalities at every opportunity. There was plenty of laughs along the way and the illustrations throughout really worked well for my younger child who still enjoys pictures in books. I loved the fact that the jobs didn't split up into the typical boy/girl divide and that Anna was such a strong and determined character who helped pull everyone together to succeed.
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!!

*I voluntarily reviewed this book from the Publisher - Anna Dupont has inherited Hotel Flamingo, the sunniest hotel in town, from her Great Aunt Mathilda who left it to her in her will. Upon arrival Anna is disappointed to see that the place is grey and peeling, the windows are cracks and that there are cobwebs and dust everywhere. There are also only two employees and there have been no guests for the last three years.
Anna sets about cleaning the hotel up and hires lots of staff including a maid who is allergic to dust and a rude, but very talented chef who wants to do everything his way. She also hires a handy-giraffe to fix the pool and other maintenance jobs.
Her first paying customers are a family of cockroaches that no other hotel will allow to stay as they are insects. Soon though the owner of the local hotel that put them out of business three years ago with his glitzy, huge hotel, wants to see for himself what is happening and he isn’t pleased. There’s also a hotel inspector whose come to take a look. If he decides the place isn’t good enough he can shut the Hotel Flamingo down again. Can Anna and the staff make the place presentable and keep all the new guests happy?
Hotel Flamingo is the first in a new children’s series from author Alex Milway. I’ve loved Alex’s books in the past so I couldn’t wait to start on this one.
The first thing that hits you as you open the title page is how beautifully illustrated the inside is. The vibrant colours are inviting and the images bring the story to life.
The hotel is situated on Animal Boulevard and is a grand hotel with fifty rooms over five floors and includes a restaurant, penthouse suite, pool, and a spa. The staff, with the exception of Anna, are all different animals and they all enjoy their jobs, especially Mr. T Bear and Lemmy the Ringtailed Lemur who have never left the place and are now happy to have the hotel back up and running.
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.
