Say Something, Perico

The bird is smarter than the people in this book.  The pet store owner keeps selling his parrot to people who want a talking bird, but can’t recognize that the bird is speaking Spanish, so they keep misunderstanding him and putting him in awkward situations that lead them to keep returning him to the pet store.  In the end he is finally adopted by a bilingual boy who keeps him.  It’s another one that fall into the category of, “fine, I suppose,” but hard to find anything fabulous about it to say.
