DESCRIPTION:
From Publishers Weekly An ultra-spoiled royal receives a pet parrot for her birthday; the parrot is so appalled by the girl's greediness that it refuses to speak to her. "There may be no one more adroit at wryly depicting childish petulance than Munsinger, while Lester's storytelling calls to mind the dry wit of a Thurber," said PW.

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.
My Penelope gets her first Princess Penelope book! Kathea Lykins Top quality book!!. "Helen Lester Strikes Again!" according to Nicole Upchurch. As a kindergarten teacher, I am always looking for books that teach as well as entertain. Helen Lester delivers just this in her story about a very spoiled princess named Penelope and her parrot that she receives as a birthday present. Penelope does not speak nicely to the bird, and is angered when the bird will not speak to her. Penelope later learns how important it is to use "nice words" when speaking to others because her words come back(as the voice of the parrot) to haunt her in front of a prince she wishes to impress.The story is cleverly . Maria said my least favorite of Lester's books. While I am generally a huge fan of HL/LM books, this one I found a little too abrasive/foul for a young audience (my kids are 5 and "my least favorite of Lester's books" according to Maria. While I am generally a huge fan of HL/LM books, this one I found a little too abrasive/foul for a young audience (my kids are 5 and 2). I would not recommend this one for young kids, but would steer you instead to other HL/LM books that we absolutely loved (and I would rate 5 stars):TACKY THE PENGUIN (Good stuff)LISTEN BUDDY (Great)A PORCUPINE NAMED FLUFFY (Funny)SCORE ONE FOR THE SLOTHS (Fun). ).
