Cooper’s Book Report

This month’s book is Penny the Parakeet, written and illustrated by Melody L. Schaefer.

Siblings Nick and Nora are looking for a pet. There are many to choose from at Big Louie’s Perfect Pets store. Will they choose a dog, a cat or a fish? Perhaps they’ll take home a little green parakeet named Penny…

Penny tells her friends stories about her adventures, can talk, and has her own fun version of “Kookaburra”. She is also very stylish in her blue hat and scarf. This book was inspired by the author’s own parakeet. Cooper does not understand why her human has not written a book about her yet…
Cooper and I want to thank Kelle and John (who have a flock of their own) for sending us this book.
