On Animal Boulevard the snow is finally melting after a long, quiet winter and Hotel Flamingo is ready to embrace the new season and new guests. Anna knows she needs to come up with a plan to get the hotel buzzing again! And what does Hotel Flamingo have that no one else has? One of the best chefs in town - Madame Le Pig! In a stroke of inspiration Anna decides that the hotel will put on a Battle of the Chefs. Madame Le Pig will go head to head with prestigious Animal Boulevard chefs Peston Crumbletart and Laurence Toot-Toot in a thrilling live cooking show - and there will be an accompanying feast for all who attend. I do have a few questions, there are humans around (we see pictures, and Anna is a human), but where are they? Is this island/spot mostly/only for animals? Les illustrations sont encore une fois un véritable régal pour les yeux, je trouve qu’elles donnent un réel plus au récit. Als Anna auf den "Boulevard der Tiere" kommt und das "Hotel Flamingo" zum ersten Mal sieht, ist sie fest entschlossen, es wiederherzurichten und ihm zu alten Glanz zu verhelfen. Das "Hotel Flamingo" ist ein ganz besonderes Hotel: All seine Angestellten und auch die Gäste sind Tiere! Egal ob Flamingos, Otter, Katzen oder gar Kakerlaken – Anna heißt sie alle willkommen! Mit Hilfe von Teddy Bär, dem Lemuren Lemmy, und ihrem großartigen, neu eingestellten Team gelingt es ihr, dass das "Hotel Flamingo" wieder das sonnigste Hotel auf dem "Boulevard der Tiere" ist. Doch da hat jemand etwas strikt dagegen: Ronald Rüpel, der Besitzer des "Hotel Glitz" oben auf dem Hügel - er versucht, Annas Erfolg zu zerstören. Ob der seltsame Gast mit ihm arbeitet – oder ist er der gefürchtete Hotelprüfer? Kann er Anna helfen?

Meet Anna, she has just inherited a wonderful hotel named Hotel Flamingo... well one day it was a beautiful hotel, but now it is pretty dilapidated and she has a lot of work to do. I loved how she immediately set to work, not daunted by the amount of work or the state of the hotel. Nope, this girl is brimming with ideas, and she is not afraid to get dirty or tell people what to do. I loved what kind of plans this girl had, she had so many of them. For instance calling the flamingo theatre group to help out, or when she finds unexpected visitors in the pool she handles that in a way that benefits everyone. Hyväntuulinen ja pirteä meno jatkuu. 10-vuotias Anna Dupont on saanut perimänsä hotellin toimimaan jo hyvin tässä sarjan 2. kirjassa. Nyt sitten kuninkaallisia pingviinejä on vailla majapaikkaa, ja he saapuvat tällä kertaa hotelli Flamingoon, vaikka aiemmin ovat yöpyneet hotelli Hohdossa, joka on Flamingon pahin kilpailija. Hotelli Hohtoa pyörittää juonitteleva ja röyhkeä leijona nimeltä Herra Villipeto. Herra Villipeto vannoo tekevänsä kaikkensa, jotta Hotelli Flamingon käy huonosti, kun hän kuulee menettäneensä kuninkaalliset asiakkaansa. Un défi de taille pour Anna cette fois, mais je suis partie confiante et j’avais entièrement confiance en elle pour la voir réussir. 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! It’s the last chance for Hotel Flamingo and Anna calls on a flamboyant fleet of flamingos to put on the show of a lifetime.

It's the last of the autumn days before winter sets in, which means it's time for CARNIVAL! And Hotel Flamingo, the sunniest hotel in town, is all set to join the party. Animal Boulevard is a riot of colour, and every establishment is preparing a float for the annual procession. Anna is determined to win the prize for Hotel Flamingo for the best display. 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. On Animal Boulevard, the snow is finally melting after a long, quiet winter, and Hotel Flamingo is ready to embrace the new season and new guests. In this last instalment Madame Le Pig will go head to head with prestigious Animal Boulevard Chefs Peston Crumbletart and Laurence Toot-Toot in a thrilling live cooking show - and there will be an accompanying feast for all who attend. 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!! Kirjan juoni on kliseinen ja ennalta-arvattava. *Juonipaljastus* Eräs hotellivieras paljastuu lopussa syylliseksi erilaisiin sabotointeihin, joilla yritettiin ilmeisesti saada hotelli Flamingo näyttämään huonolta kuninkaallisten silmissä. Hänet oli palkannut tihutöihin tietenkin kateellinen Herra Villipeto. Matkan varrella oltiin jo selätetty monta haastetta, kuten hommata kuninkaallisille pingviineille jäävuori uima-altaaseen, vaihtaa verhot ja maalata seinät tietyillä väreillä. Kaikki oli saatu ihme konsteilla onnistumaan, ja Anna osoittaa todellista sinnikkyyttä nuorena yrittäjätyttönä.Alex Milway has always enjoyed making up stories and, after leaving art college, he discovered that he liked to write and illustrate them as well. His interest in furry creatures first reared its head in the The Mousehunter trilogy, where weird and wonderful mice ran riot all over the world. 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. A glum bear and a sleepy-looking lemur greet Anna, the new owner of Hotel Flamingo. The new heiress is saddened to find the hotel looking run-down and empty; there have been no guests for years. If you love Hotel Flamingo, try BIG SKY MOUNTAIN, the newest series of animal adventures from Alex Milway! On Animal Boulevard the snow is finally melting after a long, quiet winter and Hotel Flamingo is ready to embrace the new season and new guests. Anna knows she needs to come up with a plan to get the hotel buzzing again! And what does Hotel Flamingo have that no one else has? One of the best chefs in town - Madame Le Pig!

And this is where I thought that oh, this is going to provide us with internal conflict. The whole point of Hotel Flamingo was that everyone is welcome, and now everything looks like people are not welcome anymore as Hotel Flamingo gets fancier. I thought that Anna has to really think about her values and stuff, and I thought wow, this is a pretty heavy subject for kids: is sacrificing your values for work worth it? All in all, I need more books about Hotel Flamingo. And I so would love to visit! What kind of things will Anna do next? What kind of animals will we meet? Will the cook be nicer? What about the guy who runs the rival hotel, what will he do? 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. 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! As she soon finds out, though, running an animal hotel is no easy task. Can Anna make Hotel Flamingo a success once more?
