Synopsis: Birds love to sing. Some can even talk and sing. Ever seen a colorful parrot or a parakeet repeat everything you say? Or perhaps they've even serenaded you with a song. But what if you met a bird that could also rap? In the delightfully illustrated children's book The Juggling, Rapping Buzzard and Friends, meet Mr. Pepper and his wife Cutie Pie. One day Mr. Pepper finds a waterlogged creature on the ground and comes to its rescue. Turns out that the creature is a buzzard named Survivor and she has some very spectacular talents. She can juggle and sing rap songs. She can also change the appearance of other animals. As you read this fascinating story, you will be able to imagine, identify, and visualize the uniqueness of the relationship Mr. Pepper and Cutie Pie have with their animal friends, and how they try to understand them all. The skunks nearby claim to have a special stinky juice power. Their juice can cause you to cry if it gets into your eyes. Hearing the animals' raps will give you a reason to rap too as you read along. You might even be able to strike up a rap or two of your own.
