FeathersatLasFlores_ Feathers at Las Flores, March 13, 2012 Bill Tillman (http://www.amazon.com/ This review is from: FEATHERS AT LAS FLORES-Gossip Children's Book (Text-Only Version) (Kindle Edition) This is a wonderful tale (sorry for the pun) about a parrot named Feathers. He finds that repeating whatever he hears can lead to lots of trouble. In the end "Hava Cup of Coffee" is all he needs to say. This is a great tale about life and gossip. 5.0 out of 5 stars Cute book, March 21, 2013 I. M. Strong (http://www.amazon.com/ The kids really like this book and it has an important lesson about not believing everything you hear. Got it on kindle. 4.0 out of 5 stars danger of spreading rumors, March 15, 2013 This book has the moral of the dangers of spreading rumors, though the one spreading them is an unknowing parrot. It might be a bit of a stretch to get children to make the connection to their human words, but I appreciate the questions and facts at the end of the book to make this a possible multi-curricular story. 5.0 out of 5 stars Have some coffee (or hot cocoa) and read this book..., January 15, 2013 Gillybean (http://www.amazon.com/ Feathers at Las Flores is a wonderful story showing how gossip can be blown out of proportion and make what really happened seem so much bigger. It has very funny moments, along with some that could be embarrassing as well. I will definitely be reading this to my 5-year-old and encouraging her not to gossip or talk about other people when they are not present.

REPEATING RUMOR AND GOSSIP Fly into Miami Beach and meet a parrot who talks too much. People never stop talking, do they? And from his perch at Las Flores cafe, Feathers hears every word-and repeats a good deal of what he hears. The problem is that the words sometimes get a little jumbled up, turned around, stretched out of shape. That's what happens one morning when Julio finds a ten dollar bill on the sidewalk. By the end of the day-and with the help of the talkative Feathers-Julio's bit of good luck has grown to immense proportions- Feathers' misadventures take place within sight of the palm trees and blue ocean waters of Miami Beach, Florida. Illustrator Andra Chase's sunny watercolors depict a kaleidoscope of local color and characters, not least, the multihued, madcap Feathers . Author Linda Talley's comic story about a parrot determined to keep up his end of the conversation will remind readers of the children's game of "gossip," where what goes in the ear is not always what comes out the mouth. It will give readers young and old a moment's pause to consider the hazards of hearsay and the unreliability of rumor. A SURPRISE and added bonus is the "Enrichment Information" A second big plus is the "Letter to Parents and Educators" which includes many relevant questions and comments to facilitate conversation with young readers about the message of the story...the perils and dangers of repeating gossip. So even though on the surface this is just an engaging story for children, it is also truly helpful in a real way. MAKING THE CASE FOR CHARACTER EDUCATION If you are tired of bullying, teasing, youth violence, gangs, vandalism, drug abuse, sexual misconduct… If you are tired of the crisis with our older youth… If you want to help make a difference one tiny step at a time… Then this is the eBook for your children ages 3-9. Read WITH your children and grandchildren, discuss the concept and message… and know that you are part of the movement sweeping America to bring back our important values by restoring character education in our homes and schools.
