When Ava’s new parrot flies the coop, can she fix this fowl situation? Find out in this comical caper perfect for introducing the concept of multiples, pairs, and trios to early readers.

There’s only one problem with this perfect new parrot: it’s not in its cage! To keep this problem from flying out of their control, Ava and her mother will need to find a mathematical solution—it’s time to pair up. As Ava wheels her chair after her feathered friend who has flown the coop, she discovers she’s found something, too: a group of new friends and a hilarious adventure. 


Geisel Award winning author David A. Adler matches fun antics with an educational bent, introducing literacy skills and early math concepts through an eye-catching, accessible early reader format.

Comics-lovers can now share the fun with their kids, students, siblings, and younger friends who are learning to read!
