Papagayo, a mischief-making parrot, delights in playing tricks and disturbing the sleep of the night creatures. But when the moon they worship is attacked by a monster dog, roused from sleep in a ruined city in the heart of the forest, Papagayo becomes their hero, inspiring them to use noise to frighten off this interloper. The vibrant boldly coloured cut-paper style illustration suggests a Mayan rain forest legend stripped down to its essentials.
