I love this mix of poetry. There are short, long, funny and serious poems. Some are concrete too. Some that stand out to me are Bilingual (about the dog that barks in both Spanish and English), Daily Shower (sidewalks get a shower), Mariposa (the cow named butterfly), and Sunflower.

I read these to my monolingual (English-speaking) nephew, and the poems were so short and so beautiful sounding that he didn't mind sitting through them in Spanish before hearing them in English at all!

They are good to read aloud, but they are also good ON the page.

I agreed with back cover, too, the illustrator's art is joyful and bright and works very well with the poems.

Colorful bilingual children's poetry book. I would say this is better for school age children. The poems are short and sweet!
