About the Series

Dolly the Parrot by the Sea

Thanks to young Lucy McGee, Dolly the Parrot came to live with Molly Ginter. Lucy's grandma Ginter had many guests, all of whom found cleaning to be a bother. Lucy knew how to fix those guests and stop them from being pests! She went with her grandma to a pet store and picked a bird with a squawking roar. An excerpt follows for the illustration-ready manuscript.

Dolly the Parrot's Boating Lesson

A frightful noise came from the sea; a speeding boat wouldn't stay afloat. The boat soared over the fence and into the pool. Nobody was prepared for what would happen next. Parrots and boats go together. Dolly and Molly Ginter soon will perch in a boat. This time, the crew will race to victory. Below is an excerpt from the completed manuscript.

Dolly the Parrot Flies Home

Molly Ginter had a nagging thought: had Dolly the Parrot been illegally caught? Molly, Lucy and Dolly would fly to a distant place, where Dolly’s roots might be traced. At the end of the flight, the trio waved good-bye to the friends they’d made in the sky. At Molly's brother's Latin retreat, Dolly rejoins her brother. An excerpt follows for this illustration-ready manuscript.

Molly Ginter lived by the sea

Where her friends always stayed for free.

This way, she was never alone,

So many people gracing her home.

Feathers were ruffled, that’s for sure.

For this, there appeared to be no cure.

Dolly certainly had plenty to say;

That foot-high parrot would make them pay.

The Amazon Parrot’s history

Would soon cease to be a mystery.

Dolly sang loudly in her crate.

It began when the aircraft left the gate!
