(4) 1-3 Calico Kid: Carlos & Carmen series. Illustrated by Erika Meza. In these transitional readers, twins Carlos and Carmen Garcia celebrate the Fourth of July, try unsuccessfully to train their cat for a pet show, compromise on a Halloween costume, and go shopping for piñatas. The purposeful but cheery series boasts engaging-enough texts (with a smattering of Spanish words) and slick illustrations that pop with bold colors and vibrant energy. Glos. Review covers these Calico Kid: Carlos & Carmen titles: The Costume Contest, The Perfect Pinatas, The Pet Show Problem, and The Sparkly Night.
