Translated by Pat Mora.
Illustrated by
Francisco X. Mora.
Young readers experience a noche de fiesta complete with mariachis, salsa, and delicious fruits, and attended by various nocturnal desert animals. The somewhat stilted poem, presented in both English and Spanish, rhymes in both languages. The simple geometric patterns and warm colors of the illustrations help convey the southwestern setting.
