Review Quotes
In this cute bilingual story...the translation is responsive rather than literal; if it rhymes in English, for instance, it rhymes in Spanish too. Unlike some other bilingual offerings, this book isn't focused on teaching one language or the other, but is simply making the story accessible to a wider range of readers, which is refreshing. -- Booklist
An inspiring story. Recommended for all children's collections. -- School Library Journal
