Put Some Color in Your Reading!

 Color Your Reading With Your Child!

Read Barefoot Book's The Parrot Tico Tango and then create your own color book!  Parrot Tico Tango is a wonderful, fun way to learn colors and also the importance of sharing.

Parrot Tico Tango

Follow the cheeky antics of Parrot Tico Tango as he journeys through the jungle!

Come down to the rainforest to meet Tico Tango and his animal friends. Tico Tango wants all of the fruit in the forest, even though it belongs to other animals. Will he learn what's right and wrong? The rhyming text teaches colors and animals, as well as an important lesson about sharing.

Ages 3 to 7 years
