Reviews

[Christine Meunier · Rating 3 out of 5]

My 6-year-old quite enjoyed this tale and the illustrations. I liked the descriptive 'P' words.

[Ange · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a terrific book with a main character just a little reminiscent of Eloise. The illustrations are also a bit similar too. I enjoyed it and though the story was well told.

very intelligent parrot!
