User Reviews about Book Fiesta!: Celebrate Children's Day Book Day; Celebremos El dia de los ninos El dia de los libros

I got this book from the library for my 11-month old twins, and they love it. I'm going to buy my own copy. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous. They're so colorful and creative that my kids' eyes don't stop moving. The message is simple: "Read!" Each page has one or two lines on it in both English and Spanish. It revolves around different places children read books. I love the fantasy element as it shows children reading books on a whale, a hot air balloon, etc. The other terrific aspect of this book is that is depicts a multicultural group of individuals with both girls and boys well-represented in non-stereotyped ways. I'm heading to the library to check out every book Rafael Lopez illustrated. -- Beautiful, fanciful and multicultural fun

Beautifully illustrated book. Promotes literacy. (In Spanish) Highly recommend for school teachers to have in their class libraries. -- Book Fiesta

April 30 is Children's Day and also Book Day (El Día Los Niños, El Dí de Los Libros) and everyone is excited. A little girl has a wagon filled with an assortment of books and a little boy runs with a few under his arms. There is a little girl with a wide smile and sparkling eyes carrying the banner announcing the special day. Children can read in different languages, they can read by themselves or read with un amigo. Many children read at the library. One little girl is chasing after the boy in a wheelchair, but I think he's going to get there first!

"Our families tell us stories
while we listen and play."

mientras escuchamos y jugamos."

This is an enchanting bilingual book in English and Spanish. The art work is very lively, bright and the Hispanic flavor is very appealing. The bilingual aspect of this book will be very welcome by many caregivers, homeschool and classroom instructors. In the back of the book the author offers several suggestions (English on one page, Spanish on the other) on how to celebrate Children's Day/Book Day. This would be a perfect read aloud book for children to read to each other, one in English, the other in Spanish! -- This would be a perfect read aloud book for children to read to each other, one in English, the other in Spanish!
