Fiesta Fiasco

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ethan Long. Conejo (Rabbit), Iguana, and Tortuga (Tortoise) are buying birthday presents for their amigo, Culebra (Snake). Spanish words sprinkled throughout are defined in context ("A globo!...Culebra would love a balloon"), a technique that grows a bit tiresome. The slight story is accompanied by bright, exaggerated, somewhat stiff illustrations in desert hues on a white background. Glos.
