Say Something, Perico

32 pp. | Millbrook | October, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7613-5231-0 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cecilia Rébora. At the pet shop, parrot Perico, who speaks Spanish, is repeatedly misunderstood: when he says agua, a woman thinks he wants to go to the opera; mal results in a (disastrous) trip to the mall. Perico ultimately finds a home with a bilingual child. The humor can be a stretch, but cheerful illustrations ably reflect the confusion.
