Christopher Meets Buddy by Debra Shiveley Welch is a delightful children's book with extraordinarily beautiful illustrations and a spirited story of a boy's quest to get his parents to buy him a bird. As he watched from his bedroom window birds busily building their nest he realized what he truly wanted for his ninth birthday. A bird. Not just any bird but a parrot.

This is a very helpful book that ..teaches (and) entertains, (and) shared in classrooms or at home with the family.

Christopher Meets Buddy" by Debra Shiveley Welch would make a great bedtime story book as this is one of the best stories for children that I have read in a long time, kids will love it. The art work is wonderful and is an excellent bird reference book for young kids. I would also recommend this book to people who are considering buying a pet. This story is well-written and quite amusing. Definitely worth the price.

The book is amazing. Very, very well put together and the art is exceptional. Whoever did the art work is truly talented. I am enthralled with the art. And the story concept is on the mark.

Being a bird owner, I was very interested in knowing that the book addresses bonding with birds. Which it does very beautifully. This is a very lovely children's book. Being a grandmother who buys books for children, I am very alert to what catches a child's attention -entertaining for adults too.
