Ellie McDoodle: Best Friends Fur-Ever

By Ruth McNally Barshaw

Book Description

It's raining cats and dogs-and parrots!-in Ellie McDoodle's newest (and furriest) adventure

When her teacher assigns a report about animals and all the popular animals get snatched up, Ellie McDoodle is stumped for a topic. Then a neighbor goes on vacation and asks Ellie to watch her African gray parrot, and it seems her problem is solved. Unfortunately, a new problem pops up almost immediately when the parrot flies the coop-literally. With help from a librarian, a zookeeper, some good friends, and Ellie's own pet-obsessed family, the bird comes home- but will Ellie finish her report in time?

Filled with cartoons, diagrams, lists, games, and plenty of witty asides, Ellie's newest adventure is a perfect pet primer and just might inspire some creative doodling, too.


"Interspersed in this story are instructions for games, yoga breathing, and crafts that add to the fun. Exuberant."—School Library Journal
