The forgotten poet Joseph Pintauro, born on this day in 1930, made some uncommonly wonderful children’s books for grownups, long and lamentably out of print. Here is what survives of them.

Joan Root with a rescued flamingo chick, 1962. Photo by Alan Root.

‘Deathtrap Lake’ was the name Survival gave to Magadi, the soda lake in the Rift Valley of Kenya where over a million flamingoes made the disastrous decision to nest in 1962. So super saturated is the lake with soda that the legs of the newly hatched chicks soon became encrusted with anklets of solid soda. The calamity was discovered by Alan and Joan Root, when filming at Magadi. The Roots quickly organized help from the East African Wildlife Society and from the army in Kenya, with the result that at least 10,000 flamingo chicks were saved. Joan Root frees a days-old flamingo from its soda leg-irons.“
