My Bird Is Funny

Birds are curious creatures. Some of them can even talk. Readers will meet Jerome, who has a budgerigar, or budgie, which is a species of parakeet. His budgie is named Charles and he knows how to mimic things Jerome says. Charles has memorized 15 phrases and likes to tell jokes. Brightly colored illustrations show readers how beautiful Charles is and what taking care of a bird requires. Accessible language makes this book ideal for emergent readers and children who are still in the listening stage.
