Customer Reviews

Great for children and grandchildren!

This is an excellent book full of color and creativity. Our daughters love this book so much that we give it as gifts. Their eyes lit up when they saw both English and Spanish. We would like to have more books of this kind for our children. Our eldest child (9) says, "It is an amazing fun book." Our youngest (7) says, "I like it!" - Jan Wood

Great for teachers in bi-lingual classrooms

This is an adorable mystery book for children of all ages. A delightful story and wonderfully illustrated. We are using it to expose our children to Spanish, but it would be excellent for students learning English as a second language. A rare find in childrens literature. We look forward to more books from this author.
