'Official Review: NICO' by Marlene Rattigan is a straightforward and appealing description of the children's story. The presentation style in the review is interesting and exciting. The point that this is the story of a bird, Nico, who lived with a loving family is worth mentioning in the review. This is an educational book that provides value with entertainment. Also, the necessary information about this bird's breed is provided at the end of the book. It was great to learn that the illustrations in the book are colorful and full of life!

Thank you for your wonderful review. I enjoy children's books and even more so when they teach great lessons. I also love animals. A great story and bright colorful illustrations keep children's attention. Reading together was always a favorite time of ours when my son was young.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting children's book following Nico the bird as Nico is left home while its family is on vacation. What will Nico do? It might be worth a second look especially for those with young children. Well done.

My mother had a dog. He loved her. She got married and moved to her husband's house. He did not eat food from another person's hand and died after four days. This story is about one such parrot.

The is always learning in children’s books because of the values they provide to encourage kids to inculcate and for adult readers be reminded of. I’m looking forward to knowing the bird Nico and the loving family who card for him.

The book "NICO" was a very heartwarming story, but I didn't like the act of of Kim and her mother leaving out the poor bird on their trip. I'm fascinated with pets a lot, that's why I seem to have a certain connection with this book. Every child need to read or be read this book; it is a great bedtime story and also passes unforgettable messages.

I love the sound of this book. I will definitely download it for my grandson. I think it important for kids to learn valuable life lessons young and when executed properly, books are the way to go.
