Editorial Reviews

PreS-Gr 2-Told in both English and Spanish verse, this is the sometimes-nonsensical story of a group of armadillos and lizards that host a party for their animal friends. Many of the half-rhymed and rhymed couplets sound forced in English. The narrative reads slightly more smoothly in Spanish, but the poetry and story are unremarkable. The accompanying cartoon drawings are equally unimpressive, with purple-and-orange triangle patterns drawn on flattened, green lizards and purple armadillos. Much hullabaloo about nothing.-Denise E.
