Quentin Blake’s *Cockatoos* follows Professor Dupont as he discovers that his ten pet cockatoos have taken refuge in the very illustrations that depict their home. The story invites readers to explore the playful mystery of why the birds conceal themselves, and what it takes for the professor to address the underlying cause of their hiding. Through lively, whimsical drawings and a gentle narrative, the book engages young readers with a subtle lesson about problem‑solving and the importance of addressing the source of a problem rather than merely its symptoms.
