The Coco Loco Tiger of the Mountain

The rainforest of Costa Rica is not an ordinary place. Therein lives an endangered tiger cat cub named Seor Tiger. He is not alone. Someone is watching him. Perico, a bi-lingual Macaw parrot, watches from above because he doesn't like what he sees. Something is wrong with the baby tiger cat. He could hear the other wild rainforest animals make fun of him and he doesn't like it. Perico decides to follow him for several days and discovers that Seor Tiger is in danger. Fear gripped his heart - should he or shouldn't he, risk his own life to help someone who could easily eat him? He asked himself this every day. But time was running out.

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!"
