"A cross between a concept book and a word book, this is a fun
read-aloud to use anytime or in a bilingual storytime program."
--School Library Journal "With repetitive text and child-friendly
illustrations, this wonderful read-aloud invites the younger set to
experience the tension, relief, and satisfaction of a great plot."
--School Library Journal, Top 10 Latinx 2016 "Arena's clever,
catchy text might invite some play-acting games, and the lively
energy of her
informative words is well matched by Dominguez' friendly, dynamic
creatures in an earth-toned palette. This handy introduction to
Spanish vocabulary is perfect for animal-lovers of all stripes."
--Booklist "Pura Belpré honoree Dominguez's green, brown, and tan
illustrations capture the movement in each spread . . . Marta's
adventure is an enjoyable way to introduce animals, observe
concepts, and identify comparisons and polarities in English and en
Español." --Kirkus Reviews "Arena and Dominguez nimbly combine an
exploration of relativity with an introduction to Spanish
vocabulary." --Publisher's Weekly "An ideal choice for bilingual
storytimes." --The Bulletin
