YOUNGER FICTION
McDonald, Kirsten

Tío Time

(4) 1-3 Calico Kid: Carlos & Carmen series. Illustrated by Erika Meza. In four purposeful but cheery transitional readers about Carlos and Carmen Garcia, the twins discover treasure on the beach, learn to ride bikes, turn a botched recipe into a delicious Mother's Day gift, and play in the snow with their tío. The text, which includes a smattering of Spanish words (glossary appended), is engaging; slick illustrations feature bold colors and lots of energy. Review covers the following Calico Kid: Carlos & Carmen titles: The Sandy Weekend, Tío Time, The Wobbly Wheels, and The Yummy Mistake.
