Pretty Parrot

Tico is terrific

What an absolutely charming book for older elementary students to older adults! The illustrations absolutely bring this mischieveous little bird to life. What child could read this tale and not enjoy Tico's experiences, from spilling and breaking, to bathing and knowing how lucky he is. The reader will be just as lucky to enjoy an upbeat book that brings a smile , a giggle and sense of identification.
