Amazon.com Review
What the Parrot Told Alice is a remarkable story, founded on fact. It is destined to awaken the conscience of young people to crucial issues of our time, such as habitat destruction and exploitation of wildlife. It deserves to be read (and will be greatly enjoyed) by all thinking people from nine to 90. It is so much more than a children's story -- it is a cry from the heart of one of an increasing band of forward-looking individuals who understand the destruction of the world's resources must be halted quickly, and that this can be done only by educating today's young people.
Review
Dale Smith has put the unique parrot-human dialogue squarely on the table. Aside from its value as a wildlife conservation tool, What the Parrot Told Alice is an overdue testament to the vital and profound "Communique from the wild" that is being delivered in ordinary households world over. No other wild creature possesses this psychic compatibility and the willingness and adaptability to share their undomesticated lives and love in our alien world. Thanks to Dale Smith and our psittacine primal link. -- Fred Bauer, CEO China Prairie Corporation, aviculturist, explorer, inventor
Habitat destruction, extinction, and heedless exploitation of our environment is a sad and real aspect of our global society. We can hope that, through What the Parrot Told Alice, Dale Smith will reach an entire generation of Alices and Als, and effect the appropriate, necessary changes in behavior that will save our earth and its creatures. -- Irene M. Pepperberg, PhD, Associate Professor, Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and Psychology, University of Arizona

This story will touch the hearts of children and adults.,
By A Customer
This review is from: What the Parrot Told Alice (Paperback)
This is such a wonderful book for adults as well as children. It is a creative and entertaining story that just happens to teach you so much about our world and fellow creatures. It allows you to 'feel' and understand the consequences of what we are doing to our world and the creatures in it. It explains habitat loss from the animals perspective. Children won't even realize they are learning, but will be forever changed. This story will touch your heart and awaken your love for this planet and all of it's creatures.
