"The Parrot Trap: A Children's Story"

When twelve-year old Mandy and her cousin, nine-year old Kevin, go to an amusement park for the day, they meet a very sweet woman named Lydia who is friendly and fun.  She doesn't seem like a "stranger" to either one of them.  After all, aren't strangers supposed to be scary, gruff-looking men?  Within just a short time of meeting the children, Lydia has won their trust.
If you are a parent looking for a good way to discuss stranger danger with your elementary age children, you will find this book to be quite helpful.  It gently shows children why they need to be more reserved around unknown adults, without frightening them as much as the typical Grimm's Fairy Tales.  This short children's book is a wonder way to start an important conversation with your child.

Illustrated by Donna Marie naval

Book Review:

The story is a picture story, written by Sybrina for the children. The story is explained through cute and bright pictures and very few words. The story has a lesson in it. It is always easy to teach a lesson through a picture book. the author has beautifully tought children that nothing in life is difficuolt and you can always learn when you have the will to do it. The book is lot of fun and includes both human and animal characters that interests young children who are in their learning age. In todays time, every one is following free and funky style. Wearing a tie makes you look like a gentlemen which has only been restricted to schools and on occassions. it is kind of important for every child to learn what would make him a gentleman in the future. The colorful illustration makes it easy approach of learning. The story is entertainment with the knowledge. The story is mainly for the young boys because of the concept it is giving. Story opens with an adventure of fow and the rabbit who live in the forest. the story serve entertainment and lesson at the same time. The story has a poem/song at the end which again adds to the story. poems and songs are the most easiest way to teach things to young going school kids. Not only children, parents can also learn with thier young ones. So the story is a good opportunity for the moms and boys who does not know how to tie a tie.

Happy Children's Week | Download Free Book for limited Time!

Leave a Comment

Do you people know that It is National Children's Book Week in America. It is annual celebration of books for children . It was started in 1919 and now celebrated nationwide at schools, libraries, bookstores and homes.

History :


Children's Book Week originated in the belief that children's books and literacy are life-changers. In 1913, Franklin K. Matthiews, the librarian of the Boy Scouts of America, began touring the country to promote higher standards in children's books. He proposed creating a Children's Book Week, which would be supported by all interested groups: publishers, booksellers, and librarians.
Mathiews enlisted two important allies: Frederic G. Melcher, the visionary editor of Publishers Weekly, and Anne Carroll Moore, the Superintendent of Children's Works at the New York Public Library and a major figure in the library world. With the help of Melcher and Moore, in 1916, the American Booksellers Association and the American Library Association sponsored a Good Book Week with the Boy Scouts of America.
In 1944, the newly-established Children's Book Council assumed responsibility for administering Children's Book Week. In 2008, Children’s Book Week moved from November to May. At that time, administration of Children’s Book Week, including planning official events and creating original materials, was transferred to Every Child a Reader, the philanthropic arm of the children’s publishing industry, and the Children's Book Council became a CBW anchor sponsor.(Reference Site).
