School Library Journal Review
PreS-Simple sentences in English and Spanish describe the experiences of being part of an extended Latino family. There are definitely some drawbacks, such as having to share hand-me-down clothes. Grandpa's lap also has to be shared, but Grandma's hugs are big enough for everyone. Toys aren't always shared and others are blamed when something goes wrong. But regardless, these cousins have a strong bond. Rodriguez's illustrations attempt to re-create the chaos that ensues when a large family gets together, but the figures often appear stiff and lifeless. The Spanish translation has some missteps, especially the sentence, "We sing and dance in make-believe parades." The Spanish translation renders this as "-desfiles de mentira," literally "parades of lies." Surely there is a gentler way to translate this idea. This book is ultimately too simple, and the illustration and design too pedestrian, to be successful. It just doesn't capture the message of solidarity or reflect a joyful celebration of family.-Tim Wadham, Maricopa County Library District, Phoenix, AZ Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
