5.0 out of 5 stars
A fiesta of color and language with a touching, clever storyline!,
By
This review is from: Rosa's Parrot (Hardcover)
We stumbled on this gem while perusing the stacks on our mobile library service bus. Kids know that parrots like to mimic humans, right? Wahl transforms this morsel of knowledge into a magical and clever story of a human/bird friendship. Pico the Parrot helps Rosa, who is hard of hearing, by repeating things for her. Being a parrot though, and possessing the ability of a great and LOUD mimic, he can't resist getting into a little trouble at the market (MEOW!). Rosa figures this out and is not happy with him. It is not long, however, before all is forgiven and the two are sharing hot chocolate together. Our family was entranced by the rich art and imaginative story. After we checked it out three times, we had to go get ourselves a copy! The colorful art, inventive story, and south of the border scene make it a great choice for Cinco De Mayo. The universal theme of friendship in a setting of overcoming a human disability (hearing loss) make it a great and unique choice for anytime.
