The gossipy parrot - Shen Roddie

Godfrey is a very gossipy parrot - there is nothing he likes better than passing on a rumour and stirring up some trouble! Most of the animals in the jungle aren't quite sure who this chatterbox is. Until one day Lion decides enough is enough and decides to teach Godfrey a lesson … But will Godfrey really mend his ways? A very funny, hugely energetic picture book about a very cheeky parrot.
