Praise
“Chock-full of bicultural fun on the farm.”—Kirkus Reviews
“The multimedia ink and watercolor cartoons provide a visual feast, striking a solid balance between engaging detail and white space while ably moving the narrative forward. Smith’s farmyard animals steal the show; they are full of humor and a playful energy to which young readers will relate. This is an excellent choice for read-alouds, but it also includes a glossary and pronunciation guide, making it useful in one-on-one contexts for young readers looking to develop Spanish vocabulary.”—School Library Journal
“this humorous rendition of the song should be part of any library where singing is allowed.”—Booklist
“The energetic illustrations are a good match for the lively reworked lyrics, which include Spanish words and animal sounds.”—The Horn Book
