(4) 1-3 Sofia Martinez series. Illustrated by Kim Smith. Seven-year-old Sofia's enthusiasm can have unexpected results for her Hispanic American family, such as when she won't stop singing (Superstar) or when she mistakes salt for sugar while cooking arroz con leche (Recipe). Smith's color illustrations make Sofia's energy endearing, but the stories are weakened when they are resolved too easily. Spanish phrases peppered liberally throughout (in pink font) are defined in glossaries. Review covers the following Sofia Martinez titles: The Secret Recipe and Singing Superstar.
