The Pizza Man and the Parrots
Mr. Martinelli, a good-natured pizza man, is amazed to see twelve green parrots - tropical birds - on the electrical wires outside of his pizzeria in January. He feeds the birds a scattering of breadcrumbs, but the parrots snub his offerings: they want rice balls! Mr. Martinelli prepares the rice balls but the hungry birds refuse them.

Despite his crowded pizzeria, Mr. Martinelli tries to please the birds, who begin to make demands: "No parsley, no sauce, no cheese!" After several attempts, the unsuspecting restaurant owner next door knows just how to satisfy the unhappy customers - by giving them what they want!

The Pizza Man and the Parrots is an unforgettable tale about misinterpretation and reminds young people the importance of careful listening. The fun storyline, vivid illustrations and warm humor will appeal to a broad audience - especially aspiring cooks and nature buffs ages 5 and up.
