Illustrated by
Anita De Lucio-Brock.
In this slice-of-life story, Juanito and his grandmother sell clothes at a California flea market. Juanito spends most of his time at other booths, and Herrera's text is equally descriptive of the flea market ambiance in both English and Spanish. The illustrations are the weak link here, not quite attaining the true folk art quality to which they aspire.
