A beautiful, informative first glance at the world of parrots.

In this addition to the acclaimed About... series, author and educator Cathryn Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children what parrots are, what they do, and how they live.

With beautifully detailed, realistic paintings, noted wildlife illustrator John Sill introduces readers to the diverse population of parrots—from the colorful blue lorikeets of the Polynesian Islands to the rosy-faced lovebirds of southwestern Africa. An afterword provides more details for further exploration.

"The author offers solid material, including food for thought about the pet parrot industry and the risk of disappearing habitats. The watercolor paintings are real showstoppers — the parrots stand out like jewels against muted landscapes."—School Library Journal "Uniquely attractive work with which to round out the bird section. . . an appealing and comprehensive introduction." —Kirkus Reviews "This book presents basic information along with varied, beautiful watercolor paintings. A colorful addition to the long-running About. . . series." —Booklist
