Synopsis

It was Alice's birthday, and Alice's mama and papa took her to the zoo. They bought Alice a pet parrot, an ice cream, and a flower.
"Thank you, Mama," said Alice.
"Thank you, Mama," said the parrot.
But when they returned home and Alice gave the parrot a cracker, the parrot only said, "Thank you, Mama." Alice thinks she needs to teach the parrot manners--but could it be that the parrot is actually teaching her?
Thank You, Mama pairs up the award-winning team of Kate Banks and Gabi Swiatkowska for an imaginative lesson on politeness and play. Check out its companion book, Please, Papa, too.
