Critics Review
“Pura Belpr
“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
