Tracy recommends "Kakapo Rescue: Saving the World's Strangest Parrot"

Tracy recommends “Kakapo Rescue: Saving the World’s Strangest Parrot” by Sy Montgomery, Photographs by Nic Bishop.

This is a very interesting book. Montgomery describes all of the work that is involved with saving this particular parrot native to New Zealand.

This flightless parrot is friendly and curious. Except for man, it had no natural enemies until mammals were introduced to New Zealand.

The photographs are wonderful. This book is aimed at upper elementary and above.
