🦜 About the Book Too embarrassed to admit he doesn't have a pet for Show and Tell, Harold "borrows" a neighbour's parakeet. The resulting feathery chaos forces him to come clean.
Harold Mitchell is nine years old and desperate to impress his classmates. When Pet Day is announced, his lack of a furry friend leads him to make a terribly brilliant, entirely awful decision.
This is the story of what happens when one tiny lie snowballs into a massive, squawking disaster, and the hilarious reality of learning that the truth is brave, even when it's scary.
