Spike, the Mixed-Up Monster

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Melissa Sweet. Salamander Spike is an axolotl, which means "water monstrosity," but despite his attempts to prove otherwise, his friends think he's cute. When a Gila monster arrives at the lake, all the animals flee, and little Spike uses his "monster moves" to save the day. Vibrant colors accentuate the Mexican setting. Appended is "More About Spike and His Amigos" and a Spanish word glossary.
Reviewer: Cynthia K. Ritter
