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.

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.
