“The cheery and effortless dual English/Spanish text instills a festival atmosphere brilliantly expressed in López’s luminous full-page montages of a wolrd of reading opportunities.” — Kirkus Reviews

The book does not have much of a plot line because the book centers on the joy of reading books and not a conflict. The colors are very bright, and they catch the eyes attention. The colors make the pictures fun to look at, and they make the book as a whole more enjoyable. The neat thing about this book is that it is a bi-lingual book; each page has the words written in English and Spanish. This is great to include multiple cultures in a classroom lesson and to add diversity to a collection. I would recommend this book for a classroom with the goal of broadening the students' perspectives of others and their heritage.
The fact that it's bilingual is extremely helpful for learning vocabulary and phrases and saves us from having to look up each word in the dictionary. We just glance at the English when we're unsure of the meaning, and move right along in the story.
It makes a great gift for a child, a teacher or a school librarian. We love it!
