Praise for Perla The Mighty Dog / Perla la súper perrita:

The Bank Street Center for Children’s Literature 2025 Best Children’s Books of the Year in Spanish ♦ B&N Best Book of 2024 (So Far)!

“Confident and voluble, pooch protagonist Perla . . . [demonstrates] that fierceness and love can be two sides of the same coin. Sprightly, animated watercolor and ink drawings by Rodriguez (Lola and the Troll) adhere to the text, maintaining the story’s high energy level and finding ways to include the touches of domestic magic gestured to throughout this sprightly tale about an unlikely animalian hero.” —Publishers Weekly

“Allende has crafted a winsome portrait of a miniature, magical dog whose droll commentary makes for a fab read-aloud . . . Rodríguez’s vivid watercolor-and-ink artwork . . . [pulls] readers along in the fun from page to page . . . Paws up for this personable pooch.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Allende’s story emphasizes not only the importance of standing up to bullies but also that being small doesn’t mean you have to feel small. Rodriguez’s expressive and playful watercolor-and-ink illustrations give Perla fittingly large personality.” —Booklist

“[Perla] narrates this story with . . . the type of cheekiness that will have kids giggling. The silly figures of a small wizard and mouse scampering around . . . makes for a cute seek-and-find that adds another layer of engagement for observant kids. [C]hildren will want to read more Perla adventures.” —School Library Journal
