Chewing the Cud: An Extraordinary Life Remembered by the Author of Babe: The Gallant Pig Audiobook, by Dick King-Smith

Publisher Description

Harry Holdsworth had never heard of his Great-Uncle George until he inherited the old man's most cherished possession: an African Grey parrot named Madison. Harry's first reaction was one of dismay. Who wants a big pet bird - one that could live for another 40 years?

But when Mad introduces himself in perfect American, Harry discovers he has found a friend - and more. For Mad is an ace at board games and crosswords, a fund of useful information, and even Harry's homework improves under Mad's tuition. Soon, the whole family are wondering what they ever did without him. Unfortunately, they are soon to be reminded!

"My eight year old son borrowed this from his friend and loved it. I especially like the part where 10 year old Harry gives his parents four hour of quiet time on Sunday mornings and he does the dishes and brings them coffee . Wouldn't that be nice?"
