Mr. Martinelli, a good-natured
pizza man, is amazed to see twelve green parrots –
tropical birds – on the electrical wires outside
of his pizzeria in January. He feeds the birds a scattering
of breadcrumbs, but the parrots snub his offerings:
they want rice balls! Mr. Martinelli prepares the rice
balls but the hungry birds refuse them.
Despite his crowded pizzeria,
Mr. Martinelli tries to please the birds, who begin
to make demands: “No parsley, no sauce, no cheese!”
After several attempts, the unsuspecting restaurant
owner next door knows just how to satisfy the unhappy
customers – by giving them what they want!
The Pizza Man and the Parrots
is an unforgettable tale about misinterpretation and
reminds young people the importance of careful listening.
The fun storyline, vivid illustrations and warm humor
will appeal to a broad audience – especially aspiring
cooks and nature buffs ages 5 and up.
