Captain Clawbeak

The One And Only




“Waark, Doc’s having a babyling!” Captain Clawbeak can’t keep a family secret and will do anything to be in on the act.

When Jack's mum and dad tell him they're going to have a baby, Captain Clawbeak decides he wants to have a baby too. Unfortunately, being probably the only bald-bellied loud-mouthed macaw left in the world makes it seem unlikely. This doesn't stop Clawbeak, and he soon returns home with an egg. But when the egg hatches, no-one is quite prepared for Clawbeak's scaly, green, snappy baby. An emergency visit to the zoo is needed... and the sooner, the better!!
