Spoiled Princess Penelope cannot get her new parrot to talk, even after
threatening it and calling it nasty names. But when Prince Percival
comes courting, the parrot gets revenge on the greedy princess in a
hilarious and fitting conclusion. "Munsinger's vibrant, expressive
watercolors give both bird and human so much vigor and personality it
will be hard to keep from laughing out loud." -- Booklist
