The Proud Parakeet by Tim Bailie

“In a jungle deep the wild things sleep

and creepy crawlies creep and crawl;

It’s here we meet the Proud Parakeet,

who thinks he’s better than them all.”

The Proud Parakeet is convinced he’s the best looking creature in the whole jungle

and he isn’t afraid to say so!

All day long he does nothing but

boast about how handsome he is

compared to everyone else.

To settle the matter once and for all,

King Leo the Lion declares a Jungle

Beauty Contest will be held.

But the Parakeet has a very nasty plan

to get rid of the competition!

“The Proud Parakeet” is an amusing and inspiring story about not judging others

based on appearance and why we should embrace the beauty that lies within us all.
