CAL'S BIRTHDAY PRESENT by Jean Bothwell

CAL'S BIRTHDAY PRESENT

By

Pub Date: Sept. 30th, 1955
Publisher: Abelard-Schuman

Another of Jean Bothwell's animal stories (see Paddy and Sam and The Borrowed Monkey) describes adventures with a parrakeet. Cal is given Jet for his sixth birthday and there is a solid six-year-old seriousness as boy and bird become friends and as the friendship provides a run through on how to train and care for a parrakeet.
