I love reading children's books because of their lightheartedness. NICO by Marlene Rattigan is a book I will enjoy reading as it offers a relaxing read.

Nice, I like the way you summarized it all and how you also told the readers about how good it is for the kids. Every parent wants an educational book for their kids but what’s also good about it is that it adds value to the child’s life which is very important in a kid’s life.

I would definitely tell a friend to tell a friend to buy it for their children.

The way the author highlights Nico's emotional journey, from happiness to loneliness and back again, helps children develop essential social skills like understanding and compassion. The additional information about the bird's breed at the end of the book is a wonderful touch, encouraging kids to explore and learn more about the natural world. This book is a true gem that will resonate with children and parents alike, making it a perfect addition to any home library or bedtime reading routine.

Wow!! I'm hooked! The review seems so on target, I liked how it talks about feeling of a bird. It's sure a guaranteed way to teach children that other creatures have emotions too. I love the concept of nico.

Your review agrees with my thoughts about this book, Hager! I've read this book, and I would also rate it all stars like you did. I agree that it is both entertaining and educational, and I also liked the message that children need to look after their pets. And, like you, I enjoyed reading about Nico's breed.

Nico is a nice pet, but why did Kim leave her all alone. A children's book with illustration will be nice to read. Awesome review

Children's Classic is the ideal option for every child to enjoy their leisure time because it combines moral lessons with fun. The most beautiful thing that nature has to offer is the love and devotion that pets give back to us.

The reviewer has excited me to pick up this charming book and read it to my children even if she just gave me a brief overview of the plot. Children retain moral principles they learn from great literature for a very long time.I will surely have a look at this.

“Nico” by Marlene Rattigan is a wonderful book for children. Nico is a bird that lives with a family and likes to entertain people by singing, dancing and talking all of the time. Nico did not like being alone so he was sad when he was home alone. He took a few unexpected trips by mistake thinking he was following Kim. The illustrations are colorful and really add to the story. I am looking forward to reading this book to my great grandsons but I am disappointed that the price was not discounted to the usual $2.99 or $.99. An excellent official review and a book all members should enjoy reading.
