This story of an unlikely friendship will warm your heart and tickle your tummy and yet teach children the importance of caring, sharing, facing bullying, and helping another who cannot help themself. The children will also be introduced to catchy Spanish phrases and learn a fun song. "Wow! I am simply amazed by this awesome book! Rico is such an amazing character, and all the other characters are so entertaining. This book has my kids and myself completely engaged and looking forward to the next page. I brought Ava, my ten-year-old, to the Wildlife Reserve in Manuel Antonio, and she believes that Rico lives there!" - Steve Price, Arizona
