review 1: This was a fun book! It attacks a subject younger children may not know much about; heck, I don't know much about the intelligence of animals and I'm an adult! The illustrations pulled this book together; children can read this book and really hear the parrot learning with them. It's an amazing thing to learn about because we are so used to humans being the ones we can talk to and learn with. This book shows that there is another world out there with our animals! I would like to use this book in the classroom because I have many ideas for an extension activity. Fun!
review 2: Alex the parrot is so smart and children will enjoy reading about him. Alex was doubted and said to not be smart because the theory was that the bigger the brain the smarter the animal. ... moreIt's a great educational book and it's making learning fun, but it's also relaying the message that it doesn't matter how big or small you are, you are incredible the way you are. The pictures in this book are so pretty too. It's definitely a great read and I would highly recommend reading this book to anyone just because Alex is so smart and cool. less
