Speak English for Us, Marisol!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Enrique O. Sanchez. As Marisol hurries home to check on her pregnant cat, she's waylaid by a Spanish-speaking neighbor and several relatives, asking for translation help. Containing her impatience, she assists everyone. Luckily, she doesn't miss the kittens' arrival. Mamá thanks her warmly, using tentative English instead of relying on Spanish. The occasionally stiff illustrations offer a brightly colored view of Marisol's neighborhood.
