Illustrated by
Sherry Rogers.
Vivid art accompanies text that explores what it would be like to be a parrot. Each of the kids in the story is humorously shown with the parrot trait described (one girl has a foot with four toes, two of them pointed backward). Random use of bold type is somewhat distracting. Includes "fun facts" and a craft, plus information on parrots as pets.
