From the publisher

Spoiled Princess Penelope cannot get her new parrot to talk, even after threatening it and calling it nasty names. But when Prince Percival comes courting, the parrot gets revenge on the greedy princess in a hilarious and fitting conclusion. “Munsinger’s vibrant, expressive watercolors give both bird and human so much vigor and personality it will be hard to keep from laughing out loud.” – Booklist
