read ALEX&ME, the book about Alex the African Grey Parrot who showed what a "Bird Brain" really is? I got it for Christmas and am reading it for the second time. I think it's a very good book. (SPOILER ALERT) If the ending of DEWEY made you cry, make sure you stock up on Kleenex (or Puffs or Scotts) when you come to the end of this book.
