Editorial Review:

"If You Were a Parrot" is whimsical story that has children imagining what life would be like if they were a pet parrot. The parrot's special feet allow it to climb curtains, bookshelves, and plants. The hooked beak lets the parrot chew all kinds of great food: seeds, nuts, chair legs, popsicles--sticks and all--and even a telephone directory! Join the parrot as it goes through its daily routine of climbing, chewing, eating, bathing, and finally, snuggling down for the night after a long day of parrot fun. The "For Creative Minds" educational section has parrot fun facts; tips for taking care of a pet parrot and a make-a-beak craft to supplement learning.
