La opinión de los lectores sobre Polly Parrot Picks a Pirate:

“Bright, colourful, easy to read … and with a twist at the end. Perfect.” From goodreads.com

“Polly is a wonderful main character with a great story to tell, which adds to the lovely sense of humour within the whole book. It also has a great twist, which makes for a very satisfying ending to the story.

The illustrations match the story well, bold and funny with a wonderfully motley array of ugly characters parading through page after page. There are plenty of nice details within all the pictures and I can really see Polly Parrot Picks a Pirate being popular for a pretty broad age range of children because of the popularity of the subject and fun illustrations.” From bookbag.co.uk

“Funny and great artwork.
I must have read this story to my daughter a hundred times. It’s funny, rhymes nicely and the artwork is brilliant.
We have now both memorised the whole story, but still return to it now and again.”. From goodreads.com

“Polly the Parrot is on the lookout for a pirate but it has to be the perfect pirate and the first ones she finds are just not up to scratch!!!!
Eventually she finds two which are looking like they’ll make good pets but which will she choose.
bright, colourful, easy to read … and with a twist at the end. Perfect.”.
