Parrots
Parrots are not merely copycats. They are among the smartest birds in the world. Not only can they mimic human speech, there is also evidence they can understand word meanings and form simple sentences independently. Through vibrant images and accessible text, these talkative birds are shown to be much more than a pirate's sidekick.

Series Review: The World's Smartest Animals"This engaging series takes an unusual approach by selecting animal subjects based on their intelligence. . .the oversized books are visually appealing; with main ideas and vocabulary terms offset in bold, and boxed fact and trivia inserts.
Compelling, full-color captioned photos align closely with the text. The books will appeal to students across all elementary grades, browsers and researchers alike."
