Hello Cocky

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

From treetops to rooftops, follow Australia's most mischievous bird in this exuberant celebration of the cockatoo.

Who rules the skies from back garden to bush,
Launching from trees with a screech and a whoosh?
Bossy and smart, loves to put on a show,
Who could it be now? Why, Cocky - hello!

With playful rhyming text and bold, graphic illustrations, award-winning creators Hilary Bell and Antonia Pesenti celebrate the unique spirit and curiosity of the cockatoo.

'This excellent new picture book perfectly captures the unique character of the cockatoo. It's a wonderful rhyming story that is a complete joy to read aloud. Antonia Pesenti is well-known for her stylish, bold and fun illustrations. She has done a great job of showcasing the cheeky habits of cockatoos, as well as celebrating their striking looks ... This is another top-tier picture book.'
-Kim Gruschow, Readings

'Subtlety sits alongside bop-you-over-the-head humour. It's almost a roller coaster in a picture book ... definitely for the young at heart who enjoy a good laugh. A cracker.'
-Elizabeth Vercoe, Kids' Book Review
