How can I have lived this long and never noticed that two of a parrot’s toes are on backwards? This playful and original book about life as a parrot is as entertaining as it is educational. My view of parrots is forever changed!

With cartoony illustrations and stripped down stories the ValueTales Series of books use imaginitive devices to introduce young readers to historical figures and the personal attributes that helped them make a difference in their worlds.
If you are curious about the fate of the ValueTales, you can listen to an interesting interview about an attempt to revive these books on�Mark’s ElectricSky podcast.

It’s interesting to hear the reasoning behind not buying this book sooner. You always hear how the cover can be such an important hook. I wonder if Lane Smith designed the cover or if it was an in-house designer at Penguin.
Andy,
Ya, I guess I’m likely in the minority about the cover. The book has been a massively huge success and, based on the past work of Lane and Jon alone I should have bought it. Maybe the fact that both my degrees are in Math and that I work in high tech gives me that pavlovian reflex to not pick up anything that looks slightly textbookish.
I’m so glad I did finally buy it because it is So SO SO good and such a huge hit with the family.
Incidentally, the look of the cover matters even less now that the book has been trucked back & forth to so many different locations by our addicted-to-it daughters — it’s bent and water ruffled and looking very very loved!
