If You Were A Parrot Book

"If You Were a Parrot" is a whimsical book that has the child imagining what life would be like if he or she 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 Creative Mind section has parrot teaching trivia, crafts and games to supplement learning.

Children's Literature

This colorfully illustrated look at what would happen if a kid became a parrot presents unusual, amusing situations and interesting information about parrots. Different characters are shown climbing, chewing, squawking and mimicking, and bathing and preening like parrots. The images of kids with parrot parts are oddly arresting and yet fun. The book also provides a "For Creative Minds" section at the end with parrot fun facts, a make-a-beak craft, and information about owning a pet parrot. This original concept and the delightfully silly pictures will draw kids into the world of pretending to be a parrot (perhaps to the dismay of some parents).
