<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Patrick, an African Grey parrot who lives in central Africa, wants to send a 100th birthday message to his Great-Grandpa Gilbert in Australia. Patrick gives the message to migrating swallows who fly to South Africa and sing it to a whale. The whale passes it on to other whales and finally it reaches Gilbert in Perth.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Patrick is an African grey parrot who lives in the jungle in central Africa. His Great-Grandpa Gilbert will soon be one hundred years old and Patrick wants to send him a birthday greeting. There is just one big problem -- Great-Grandpa Gilbert lives thousands of miles away in Australia! How can Patrick solve his problem? Follow his birthday message as it travels with the help of small migrating birds and huge ocean whales.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br></em>Verified Purchase</p><p>This author is going places! Rhymes were well-done, lengthy and often informative which added tremendous value to this children's book. Artwork was phenomenal with my favorites being the multitude of swallows with the silhouettes of the buildings along the bottom of the page and the conga line of whales beneath the waves passing along the birthday message. Book also provides some "Parrot Points"(factoids) and a quiz at the end of which you can visit a website to get the answers (smart!) I can't help but give this five full stars and heartily recommend given the amount of effort that went into this fine book.</p><p><strong>5 Stars Three wonderful Books</strong> by brymaruk on 2 March 2014</p><p>Format: Paperback</p><p>My inner child has been delighted! I loved the bright beautiful colours of the animals and surroundings, the friendly warm characters and tales told in cheerful rhyme gently emphasising the importance of friendship and family values. Beautifully illustrated by the author herself, none of these three books. "Patrick's Birthday Message", "Searching for Skye" and "Cosmos the Curious Whale" will disappoint you, I'm sure.</p><p><strong>5 Stars This is a delightful; book ...</strong> by psm on 10 January 2015</p><p>Format: Paperback<em><br><br></em>Verified Purchase</p><p>I have got to say that this is such a beautiful book.

Thank you Gail, I look forward to future adventures you have created and undoubtedly so do my children.</p><p><strong>5 Stars From this jungle to Perth is too far for a meeting, ' Thought Patrick.
