Reviews

"The author offers solid material, including food for thought about the pet parrot industry and the risk of disappearing habitats. The watercolor paintings are real showstoppers -- the parrots stand out like jewels against muted landscapes."
"Uniquely attractive work with which to round out the bird section...an appealing and comprehensive introduction."
"This book presents basic information along with varied, beautiful watercolor paintings. A colorful addition to the long-running About... series."
