        • Jayko Garcia

          My favorite character of “Coco the Puerto Rican parrot” is coco. In the story the most emotional part was when Caimito didn’t accepted him. This is a good story so i will give 4 stars. The part that caught my attention was the part where Caimito said that Coco is not welcome.

        Coco the Puerto Rican parrot is a story that i highly reconmend for all ages. It was really inspirational.

      • Xabdier Santiago

        I definitely recommend this story because it was really good to learn about Puerto Rico’s fauna which is animal life especially the animals characteristic of a region or a special environment like el Yunque. Which is the national rainforest of our island. The diverse fauna of the island is so beautiful I really liked Coco the Puerto Rican Parrot and the other characters. Another detail that really caught my attention was when Miss. Cancel our English teacher announced that the author was one of the characters and her sister as well, that was cool! We also had a quiz emphasizing figures of speech a really interesting topic.

        • Mirelis viruet

          It was a great story to hear it was sad at the same time because Coco got rejected because he was different and because he had a bracelet on his ankle and that made him different from the other parrots. But after all I loved the story and it’s highly recommended.

      The story has a great point to learn to know the importance of being bilingual even if it is not accepted by people who are not. I also liked this story!

        • Adrián A González

          The story is a cute and relaxing tale about Coco and his difficulties of being bilingual. It’s not that special to me and I’m personally not interested in it but it’s not a bad story and it’s a nice tale.

        I loved this story about the Puerto Rican coco parrot. I love everything that talks about the parrot and everything she says is true.

    • José J. Rivera López

      This story is about a parrot that was kept in captivity until he was released to the wild. It really caught my attention because Coco made a difference in the way the other wild parrots tought about life and the essence of communicating with others and accepting everyone just the way they are.

    • paola

      the story was interesting because i learn about the puertorican parrot and the national rain forest in Puerto Rico (El yunque). The characters where also very nice because they are also puertorican people.

  • Joelys

    I think that the parrots should have accepted Coco since they were all parrots, it was not much difference the way of speaking. Coco could learn. Coco fue diferente y aunque no lo aceptaron el ayudó a las demas cotorras a que no le quitaran su casa.

    • Larryanis Rivera Olivero

      It is a pretty nice book not to mention that makes us think about how to support the cause and all Puerto Rican writers.
      And not to mention that the fact that I use names of fruits of our country as much as animals of it, makes it different from other stories.

      • Jelenys S. Rivera Colón

  • Abdiel A. Cruz Caban

    I found the story very interesting as it develops with the main character,Coco the Puerto Rican Parrot. What struck me the most about the story was that Coco sounded differently than the other parrots and that wasn’t accepted by the wild flock of parrots but then he showed his perserverance and succeded at last. I personally recommend the story it is an incredible story because it teaches us the importance of knowing two languages and that we are all different but at the same time the same.

  • Jeremy A Millan

    We should give space to these Parrots and not destroy the trees because it is their habitat, they also need a home. Thanks to the different dialect Coco knew he was able to save the wild parrots and their habitat. It was really interesting the way the author used onomatopeia in the story applying parts of the figures of speech that my English teacher Mrs. Gladys Cancel is teaching us, moreover the use of different native fruits from Puerto Rico as the characters.

  • Minelys

    The main character, Coco, has lived in an aviary for a long time and for this reason she can communicate with humans and parrots. When Coco was released from the aviary she is very excited. She travels through the Yunque, the tropical forest of Puerto Rico, in search of a flock. After much flying, she hears a familiar sound and finds a group of parrots. She gets excited, but the parrots don’t accept her because she doesn’t talk like a wild parrot. Coco is disappointed and afraid. How will a wildlife survive after so many years living in an aviary? What will be your destiny? Read it for yourself and you will know! You are going to love the lesson in the book and you will also like all the information that the author, Frances Díaz Evans, includes in this book as a glossary and a page full of information about the characters and the flora and fauna of Puerto Rico. Also, I liked the French style of writing. Phrases reminds me of my mother’s sayings. I didn’t know that our neighbors in Puerto Rico used these phrases as well and I’m glad to know.
