Memoirs of a Parrot

I'm between "It's okay" and "I love it". Of course I have the goldfish book and the hamster book...two wonderful characters with two very unique personalities that were very well developed for a short children's book. The fish is wonderfully sarcastic and the hamster obliviously content (then not then back to wonderfully content). This parrot...sadly not so well developed. I know, I know...! It's a kid's book! And as a kid's book, it's pretty good! I really like how Devin makes a strong point that a parrot is not a frivolous pet in the way a hamster or fish can be, and like those two books, Devin lays it out pretty clearly that each pet has very specific needs... I just wasn't as thrilled with the parrot's development.That's from an adult-perspective. From my child's (an almost three-year old boy), the illustrations are again on-point and the story line was something he immediately glommed on to...unlike other books where he's distracted by page three! If you're a fan of the other two, you'll enjoy this as well.

This book is cute, good for young children to listen to or read themselves, depending on their age and ability.

Love this book. Birds have so much personality that this helps understand how they feel and how it takes time to warm up to people.its easily written for a young child to understand

My kindergartners loved this book!

Memoirs of a Parrot is a wonderful story. It is funny. It is also endearing. If you are teaching character traits and evolution of a character. This book is an entertaining way to do that.

My 6 year old son loves Memoirs of a Goldfish. Memoirs of a Parrot is just as cute & funny! He doesn’t usually like to read, but this book is so funny he can’t stop.

Great book. My 2nd grades love the entire Memoire set of books by this author.

I love reading this to my students each year. Memoirs of a Goldfish and Memoirs of a Hamster are better stories, but this one is still cute.

Absolutely love it! Hilarious journey of friendship and understanding through new forms of communication. My class loves all the Memoir books and have taken to writing their own memoir stories complete with interesting characters and signature phrases. They even wanted to skip recess to work! Devin Scillian is a gifted writer whose talents reach far and wide as he crafts the most vivid characters that you feel you know, or would want to know. Tim Bowers bright and creative artwork brings the story off the page in an exciting and accurate way. Kudos to both of you!

Good story for young kids. Girlfriend got this for my girls and they love it.

My daughter loves this book. We already had the Goldfish and Hamster books by the same author but this one is probably my favorite.

The kids loved it!
