In the town of Froghop lives a lonely parrot named Aku (AH-koo). Aku tries hard to make friends all day, but the other animals always run away. You see, his pleading parrot-hello is viewed as a bothersome SQUAWK. Poor Aku. He is a sad bird. One day, Abbot Rabbit and cousin Cabot Rabbit, with help from Ella Eagle, come up with a plan to help Aku STOP the SQUAWK. Something special happens! Join Aku and his fellow Froghop animals-Rumbo Raccoon, Grandpa Turtle, Munk the Skunk, Pappy Porcupine, and the froggies- as they journey from irritation to friendship and experience the joy of learning.
