Pepi the parrot croons the same version of "Twinkle, Twinkle" to his owner nightly. To find ideas for new lyrics, Pepi visits a bakery, a music studio, a market, and other happily cluttered locales. Digitally rendered illustrations in eye-popping colors place Pepi all over the page, investigating and naming items. Pepi's nonsensical new ditties might inspire young songwriters to mine their surroundings for material.
