Alex & Me by Irene M. Pepperberg

5.0

What an excellent retelling of the research done by the author with Alex, the Grey Parrot! It is amazing how little we knew about language and animals prior to the 1980s and how much we've learned since. The first two chapters are a bit slow, but it is worth sticking around for Alex, who was quite a bird, and the work they accomplished. I felt a little sad at the end. It was one of those books that touches you.
