"Beatrix's irrepressible character stands out as brightly as her green and gold plumage....Young children who share Beatrix's morning hyperactivity, or even just her flexible relationship with the idea of an "indoor voice," will certainly relate...as will, without doubt, their parents. A few hearty squawks and a brisk bit of exercise--what better way to start the day?"--Kirkus Reviews, March 2015
* "Beatrix the parrot: threat or menace? She really is a loving bird; in fact, she's constantly telling the other animals in her cottage home that she loves them. But she's so clueless and so loud--and doesn't she ever sleep? It's hard to be her friend and to keep her out of harm's way, although Mouse certainly tries...a series of funny, often wordless misadventures and mishaps featuring a lead character whose energetic, blissfully obtuse personality is as vivid as her bright green feathers...it's a lovely book: Judge (Born in the Wild) uses aqueous, shimmering blues for her environments so that the furs, feathers, and marvelous expressions of her cast pop. It also demands, in the best possible way, that readers slow down and pore over every picture. It's easy to imagine the many warm, giggling interchanges that snuggling with this book will inspire."--Publishers Weekly, March 2015, STARRED REVIEW
"All of her friends are sleeping, but Beatrix the parrot is wide awake.... Watercolor and pencil illustrations vary between full-page spreads and comic book-style frames. Soft colors contrast the bright green and yellow of Beatrix the parrot. VERDICT: Children who have a hard time with indoor voices will relate to Beatrix's enthusiastic nature."--School Library Journal, May 2015
"Against a soft blue reflecting the morning's quiet and stillness, Beatrix the parrot's bright green feathers stand out as sharp and clear as her morning energy.... Watercolor and pencil illustrations create energy that builds with every page turn as Beatrix's enthusiasm for morning fun leads to more and more trouble...the crisp text consists almost completely of dialogue among the animals, and their strong personalities come through in their expressive eyes and body language. Beatrix is at once incredibly frustrating and undeniably lovable, and no creature--or reader--can resist her for long, making this tribute to rude awakenings a joy to read and share."--Horn Book Magazine, July/August 2015
