Chatterbox: The Bird Who Wore Glasses

by Michael E. Uslan, John Steven Gurney

A funny, spirited, and heartfelt bird’s tale about a lonely child who comes out of her shell when a very nearsighted talking parakeet swoops into her life. Told in Dr. Seuss-style rhyme, this story of a girl and her bird shows how very special the relationship between a pet and a child can be. As a special bonus, this book includes an audio CD recording of the story, along with two special songs, read and sung by actress Brittany Murphy. Printed on premium paper and encased in a matte dust jacket, Chatterbox features watercolor and ink illustrations from renowned children's book artist John Steven Gurney.
