Scarlet Tail

An engaging tale – written in verse – about a
handsome African Grey Parrot, Nebuchadnezzar the
Third, and his unlikely playmate, Belinda – a bright and busy bee.
Nebuchadnezzar lives in the deep jungles of Africa and comes
to rich and colourful life when he takes to the air, showing off his
splendid plumage as he swoops and dives with his fellow fliers. But
every young creature needs a playmate and some fun, and this is
where Belinda the Bee comes in. She’s Nebuchadnezzar's good friend,
and after a day’s work they join together to play jungle hide-andseek.
Lots of laughs and giggles later, they settle down for a good’s
night’s sleep. Claire Norden’s now familiar style of illustration is
cheerful and bright, and holds great appeal for young readers.
