Amelia argues with Anita; Benito loves bean burritos but not bumblebees; Hortencia and Herminia hover around like hummingbirds; and Zacarias is catching some Zs on Zachary Street.

(Los Otros, hermanos Tonio, Lluvia and Chuy, new to the neighborhood, haven't yet learned English.) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author's detailed and vibrant gouache paintings are framed as pictures in an album, reflecting the festive spirit of a real Hispanic community. Crosthwaite's excellent Spanish rendition maintains the savor and rhyme of the original text and its clever wordplay, making the story enjoyable in both languages. Drawings of alphabet cubes serve as dividers between the texts.--\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52566111093009,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52566111322385,"sku":"NIN9781941026083","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781941026083.jpg?v=1760763158"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-jos-lozano.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
