My Family / Mi familia series.
Illustrated by
Maribel Suárez.
Mora continues her series of family-life vignettes with this story of some unexpected lunch guests. When Danny comes to the table with wiggling pockets, Mom and Dad ask what he has in them. Four frogs jump out and cause minor chaos. The simple text in both English and Spanish and the warm illustrations portray a loving family.

My Family / Mi familia series.
Illustrated by

Simple sentences, first in English, then in Spanish, portray family experiences. Abuelita tucks in her grandchildren ("Shh, shh, the squirrels are sleeping") in Dreams, giving each child a comforting kiss. Eat portrays the family enjoying a traditional meal together, which makes them feel rich indeed. Clean, unfussy illustrations match the accessible tone of the stories. Review covers these My Family / Mi familia titles: Let's Eat! / ¡A Comer! and Sweet Dreams / Dulces sueños.

Tina and her brother Danny discover their pet cat's hiding places. Mora's Spanish and English texts are well placed for reading aloud in both languages. The story's simple language and the bright double-page spreads make this ideal for group sharing.
