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.
