If You Were A Parrot (Arbordale Collection)

If You Were a Parrot is whimsical story 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 For Creative Mind section has parrot fun facts; what is a bird; tips for taking care of a pet parrot; and a make-a-beak craft to supplement learning. 2007 ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Award finalist.
