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
