The image features a vibrant and whimsical illustration of a flamingo with an elongated neck and legs, depicted in bold pink color. The bird is shown standing on one leg, with its other leg elegantly raised as if it's dancing or performing the splits. Hanging from the flamingo's foot is a green swing, where a small child is seated, engrossed in reading a book. Above the flamingo are two stylized butterflies painted in shades of blue and green.

Below the main illustration, there's prominent text that reads "swing into books" followed by smaller print stating "BOOK WEEK, NOVEMBER 1-7, 1964." The overall design has an artistic flair with a touch of playfulness, suggesting it is likely related to promoting reading or celebrating National Book Week in Australia.
