Review Quotes

"It is not necessary ... to be familiar with the character to appreciate the book. Colorful, clean-lined illustrations and uncluttered pages center on the onomatopoeia and the bungling superhero. Children will take delight in finding out that these words that mimic the sounds of the things described are heard differently in the two languages: Knuckles on a door go "Knock Knock!" in English and "¡Toc toc!" in Spanish."-- "Kirkus Reviews" (8/15/2020 12:00:00 AM)
