A parrotfish’s unusual ability takes center stage

Warm tropical waters provide the setting for this factual, humorous introduction to the parrotfish. The fish shares details about its teeth and a way of hiding from predators before building toward an ability the book describes as unique among fish. Hammerhead Shark repeatedly interrupts to talk about himself, adding a comic obstacle to the parrotfish’s explanation. The book pairs animal information with a playful exchange, keeping its attention on what makes this fish distinctive without giving away the answer to its central question.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in fish and ocean animals
  • Young readers who enjoy animal facts presented with humor
  • Adults seeking a short nonfiction-leaning picture book to share with children

Book overview

A factual (and funny) introduction to the parrotfish and its incredible somewhat-squirmy superpower, from the team that brought you Stinkbird Has a Superpower.

Just wait till you hear what a parrotfish can do! You may know they live in warm tropical waters, have an interesting trick for hiding from predators, and have crazy-incredible teeth. But they also do something that no other fish can do--and Parrotfish is eager to tell you all about it.

There's just one problem--nosy Hammerhead Shark keeps interrupting to talk about himself.

But even Hammerhead gets intrigued and bellows, "WHAT. IS. YOUR. SUPERPOWER!!"
