'Professor Dupont is the proud owner of ten troublesome cockatoos. When his "feathered friends" as he calls them, escape one fine morning, the subsequent hide and seek makes a wonderfully enjoyable story' - DAILY MAIL
'Cockatoos must be the funniest and subtlest counting book, so funny you can't count anyway. Irresistibly daft, devastatingly droll' - THE GUARDIAN
'There has never been, and probably never will be, a counting book as funny and delightful as this... one of the best picture books of this, or any other, year' - BOOKS FOR YOUR CHILDREN
Quentin Blake was appointed the First Children's Laureate in 1999.
