Another great book in the ‘That’s not my…’ book series.

My baby got excited at this book and loved patting his hands on the pages.

In each page you can feel a different part of the parrot, e.g smooth eggs, fuzzy tail.

My son loved the ‘it’s feet are too rough’ page the best and the smooth eggs, he loved touching the parrots grey feet because they do in fact feel very rough.

The books in the "That's not my..." series are similar and repetitive, e.g., limited vocabulary and texture, and no background story about the characters. The depictions of the characters often lack specific facts or accuracy. The eggs' texture feels just like plain paper...

anti-climactic ending. 0 stars if i could, however i must give it a one.

These series of books are so cute for young readers and each page leading up to finding the animal that does in fact belong.
