Nico, the bird, must have been really lonely times when Kim and her mom were away from home. How did Nico handle its lone condition? Did it find another companion? Or what happened?

This sounds like a story kids will love and enjoy. It also seems to have some good life lessons that includes lessons about friendship.

I will read the book to find the answers of the questions highlighted.

Through the charming story of Nico the bird and his relationship with Kim, the book captures children's attention while teaching them important values about empathy and the importance of looking after pets. Nice review.

A lovely children's book "NICO" by Marlene Rattigan, which follows a bird, Nico, who liked to amuse Kim, the little girl in the family, and her friends by doing tricks on them.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

This is a thorough review of the book. Also mentioning the lessons and benefits of reading is very inspiring, for the parents in particular, and for indicating a critical reading skill in general. Nice review.
NICO might embody a child who is left away while the parents are at work or for a deeper sense of loose of the parents. But the simpler outcome is to link it to a child taking care of a living being and sensing that kind of responsibility. A very good book for children and, again, a very helpful review.

NICO by Marlene Rattigan is a perfect bedtime companion for both kids who can read and those who love to be read to. The story of Nico the bird and his journey through loneliness is touching and beautifully illustrated. Plus, the added information about bird breeds at the end is a thoughtful touch that sparks curiosity in young minds.
