Rise and shine—ready or not! A cheerful parrot pushes the limits of early-morning energy in this exuberant picture book from the author-illustrator of
Red Sled and
Flight School.
Good morning, Mouse! Good morning, Kitty! Good morning, Gracie! And GOOD MORNING TO ME!
It’s a sleepy morning in the cottage, but Beatrix the parrot is wide AWAKE…and she can’t
wait to start the day with her friends.
From the beloved author-illustrator of
Red Sled,
Red Hat,
and
Flight School,
this joyful picture book is perfect for children who can’t contain their exuberance—and who might have a little, tiny, itty
bit of trouble using
indoor voices.
"A picture book about a parrot named Beatrix, who is very awake, very excited to see her friends, and has a very hard time using her 'inside voice'."--
"Against a soft blue reflecting the morning’s quiet and stillness, Beatrix the parrot’s bright green feathers stand out as sharp and clear as her morning energy.... Watercolor and pencil illustrations create energy that builds with every page turn as Beatrix’s enthusiasm for morning fun leads to more and more trouble...the crisp text consists almost completely of dialogue among the animals, and their strong personalities come through in their expressive eyes and body language. Beatrix is at once incredibly frustrating and undeniably lovable, and no creature—or reader—can resist her for long, making this tribute to rude awakenings a joy to read and share."
