Ooh! I have been on the hunt for good Spanish children's books, since I'm learning Spanish now. I'll put this on my to-read shelf. Perhaps I'll enjoy it with a hot dog and some coca-cola too ;). Excellent review!

Thank you, Michelle.

I like that the book featured colorful art. I also enjoy books that focus on weather and nature. I enjoyed your review.

I wish if this book is available in English as well. That way there will be a larger audience for this wonderful piece.

I am not aware of an English version. I reviewed another children's poetry book that featured English and Spanish versions side by side, which is a nice option for teaching both languages.
