This month’s movie is Song of the Sea.songSong of the Sea is an Irish animated film. Ben and his “pesky” little sister Saoirse live in a lighthouse with their father. After Saoirse is found washed up on the beach, the children are sent to live with their grandmother in the city. On Halloween night, Ben discovers his sister’s secret and the two of them make their way back to the sea to save Saorise’s life and free the faeries from Macha the witch. 1Cooper thought this movie was charming. The look of the film was beautiful. And Cooper loves a fairy tale. Her favorite part of the film was the grandmother’s budgie.2The budgie was the most interesting character in the film, even though it appeared very briefly. Cooper thinks Song of the Sea would have won the Oscar if there had been more budgie and less people…

Cooper’s Book Report

This month’s book is Mimi and Maty to the Rescue! – Book 3: C.C. the Parakeet by Brooke Smith.1Mimi, an official animal rescuer, starts her first day of second grade. It has its ups and downs. One of the downs is leaving her three legged dog, Maty, at home. So Mimi is excited when it’s “bring your pet to school day”.

One of the pets, parakeet C.C., flies out of an open window after being startled by one of the students. Mimi and Maty are quick to help and use their ingenuity and knowledge of parakeets to find C.C. 2Cooper loved this book. And not just because it featured a blue budgie… She thought the illustrations (by Alli Arnold) were cute. She liked the story Mimi’s mother told about her pet parakeet (flying into a toilet!) and the parakeet facts that Mimi uses to find C.C.

The end of the book has photos of the real Mimi (the author’s daughter) and Maty. Mimi created the site Freekibble, which feeds meals to homeless pets at shelters across the country. Maty is a Humane Society goodwill ambassador and visits schools and groups to educate people about animal safety.
