Reviews of Tico’s Book

Christopher,9, a lover of books, especially this one 06/10/2008

I think that many people should read this book because you don't know what will happen next. Plus, it is hard to believe that the parrot wrote it. Also, Tico has a very strong vocabulary. This book is very funny and will make you laugh and cry. I recommend this book to anyone 4-70 years old

I purchased a copy of 'Tico's Book' for my grandsons, aged 8 and 9. First I was drawn to the wonderful illustrations. Then I was delighted by the story. However, the real test is what two active boys would say. They both gave it four stars, saying it was funny and 'cool'. They especially loved Tico's antics. I asked if their friends would like it and got an enthusiastic 'yes'!

Tico, an engaging pet parrot (half moon conure) narrates his story from Texas birthplace to new home near Baltimore, Maryland. Daily adventures (and some misadventures) with Tia Tica and Bill are described by Tico who likes to sit on their shoulders and concludes that he is a very lucky bird.

The lively text is enhanced by vibrant color pencil drawings on pastel pages. Informative and humorous, this delightful book will entertain both children and adults.

 

Tico is terrific

happynana "bookworm" (Baltimore, MD. USA) - 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.

From Janet Clark
