"Una historia bilingüe sobre algunos de los animales y sonidos comúnmente encontrados en el desierto del suroeste. Cada doble página representa una enorme extensión de cielo celeste con cuatro líneas de texto --dos en inglés y dos en español-- en la página izquierda y una criatura o escena diferente en la página derecha . . . las traducciones son apropiadas y proveen una excelente oportunidad para comparar los sonidos en ambos idiomas . . . las ilustraciones evocan el arte amerindio con formas y color, y las bases de las páginas están adornadas con diseños geométricos. Este libro es bueno para leer en voz alta; el público joven disfrutará el texto predecible y repetitivo, y su formato bilingüe realza su atractivo en una variedad de ambientes multiculturales". --School Library Journal"A bilingual account of some of the animals and sounds commonly found in the Southwestern desert. Each double-page spread depicts a vast expanse of light blue sky with four lines of text--two in English and two in Spanish--on the verso, and a different creature or scene on the recto. . . . The translations are appropriate and provide an excellent opportunity to compare the sounds in the two languages. . . . The illustrations evoke Native American art in shapes and colors, and the bottoms of the pages are adorned with geometric designs. This book is a good choice for reading aloud; young audiences will enjoy the predictable, repetitive text, and its bilingual format enhances its appeal in a variety of multicultural settings."--School Library JournalReview Quotes
"Vibrantly illustrated double-page spreads accompany the simple text. Librarians will want to use this title with storytime groups." School Library Journal --
