About this book
A quiet household becomes the scene of a comic courtship when Fido, a white dog, declares his affection for Tittums, a tortoiseshell cat. Their comfortable life by the hearth changes with the arrival of Paul Parrot. Bright feathers, a grand manner and claims of speaking five languages make the visitor an immediate attraction for Tittums, while Fido struggles with jealousy.
Charles H. Bennett tells this children's picture book through talking animals whose vanity and hurt feelings resemble familiar human weaknesses. Garden paths, overheard conversations and promises of a grand home give the small domestic world its comic scale. The contrast between Fido's loyalty and the parrot's flattering speeches offers a simple way to explore trust and appearances.
