The book has factual information about flamingos but the setting is fictional. There are activities for geography, zoo workers and their jobs, counting, deciding if pictures represent equal or unequal quantities, dolch word cards, a simple science lab, recognizing characteristics of birds verses not a bird and there is a section called teacher tidbits that might be useful for anyone unfamiliar with doing these kinds of activities. There is a read along for the book on youtube. https://studio.you
