Harold the parrot can mimic all the sounds in Apartment 4B in Paris: alarm clock, television, blender. Tired of repeating the same old noises, Harold escapes and discovers a world "full of beautiful sounds." Striving for his own "voice," his call produces like-feathered friends. Energetic, uniquely composed illustrations in a rainbow palette perfect for vibrant plumage complement the colorful storytelling.
