Told from the point of view of the Tylers’ macaw, Leopold, the chapter book consists of mostly simple sentences with strong vocabulary incorporated throughout, perfect for a growing reader. Black-and-white illustrations accent the story well. Readers will learn the importance of facing your fears, sticking together, and not trusting rumors.
