Description

What would you do if a parrot came out of nowhere and started stealing your snacks?

Oscar the Rabbit and his best friend, McTavish, the highland legend, get upset at Polly the parrot for stealing their food but quickly realise that the bird is lost, hungry, and needing their help.

The rabbits put past crimes aside and go on an adventure to help Polly, who only speaks in squawks, back to her circus home.

By the end, Polly has pecked her way into both rabbits' hearts, and even grumpy McTavish is sad to see her go. Oscar, meanwhile, is mainly focused on the cotton candy…

This sweet story about unexpected friendships and circus delights is sure to inspire laughter when read aloud to children ages 3–5 but also works brilliantly for early school readers.

Perfect for fans of The Interrupting Chicken and The Bear Ate Your Sandwich!

Polly Goes Home is a cute children’s story that had me smiling from start to finish. From the moment Polly the parrot swooped into Oscar and McTavish's lives, I was hooked. The story effortlessly weaves together themes of friendship, kindness, and adventure, making it perfect for both young readers and those who enjoy reading aloud. I found myself eagerly turning the pages to see what antics Polly would get up to next and how Oscar and McTavish would overcome the challenges they faced.

The quite lovely, but somewhat unexpected friendship of Oscar and McTavish continues in this book. Polly the parrot is lost and needs returning to her home at the circus. Polly is a chatty parrot and my littlest one laughed fully at Polly wanting carrots but not being a fan of sausages! The friendship is put to the test, but ultimately Oscar and McTavish unite, get Polly sorted, meet a hungry lion and run home for their own food. The images are bursting with life and support the humour.
