(4) K-3 Translated by Ariel Almohar. In this Spanish rendition of Nobody Likes Me! the translation is accurate but fails to come to life--perhaps the fault of the original repetitive text. The strong illustrations add interest to this story of a dog who mistakenly assumes that the other animals in the neighborhood don't like him.

(3) K-3 Translated by Ã?ngel Secreto. Illustrated by Alan Marks. Mr. Goose, a gentle bachelor, longs for a child of his own. The dog finds a huge egg for him, and a baby dinosaur hatches out of it calling him Mama. Taunted by the chickens, the little dinosaur runs away looking for his real mother only to find that all he needs is the love of his devoted adoptive father. Accompanied by expressive illustrations, this Spanish edition of The Little Green Goose reads smoothly.
