(4) K-3 Rhyming text accompanies collage pictures of animals and their eggs, with clues in the illustrations hinting at which animal baby might be inside. The text then gives more information about animal young and their habits. A spread at the end shows various eggs at actual size. The Spanish translation occasionally strains for its rhymes.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Barry Gott. The book's inspired premise--what teachers do at school after students go home--is enough to draw in readers; exuberant illustrations of teachers run amok seal the deal. Alas, this Spanish version doesn't replicate the energetic rhymes of the original text, and the bland translation limits the book's appeal.

Reviewer: Tim Wadham

(4) K-3 It's hard to resist the toothy smile of Carlson's frog protagonist in this book about staying positive regardless of the challenges around you (e.g., being the new kid in school, doing badly on a test). The Spanish translation (uncredited) is somewhat leaden and literal, but the facial expressions of the bright green, red-eyed froggie will make most readers smile.

(4) K-3 Yo solo festividades series. Illustrated by David L. Erickson. Knudsen shares Easter celebrations from countries around the world including Switzerland, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Mexico. Informative illustrations depict the various traditions, often including special clothing. The translation is mostly accurate with the exception of one word, cuclillo, which is not commonly used by native Spanish speakers, and one page seems to be missing text. A map and recipe are appended.
