(4) PS Illustrated by Carolina Farias. Rhatigan blandly continues the stories of these classic nursery rhymes with matching rhythmic texts. Hey furthers the poem's absurdity as other animals and utensils frolic in O'Kif's bright, if at times overly stark, pictures; Itsy explores more of the bug world and their various antics, cartoonishly depicted in Farias's rounded illustrations. Though ultimately slight, the books should have some appeal with the nursery-rhyme crowd. Review covers these titles: Hey Diddle Diddle and The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Carolina Farías. Nacho is a muchacho who only eats gazpacho, until the day his mother decides to teach him to cook. The funny rhyming text seamlessly blends Spanish and English, and although the foods may be unfamiliar to many kids, the picky eater's plight is instantly relatable. Farías's rich acrylic and watercolor illustrations are mouthwatering--luckily, a recipe is included. Spanish glossary appended.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Carolina Farias. Eduardo moves from a village where the kids play fútbol to Sleepy Tree Lane, where the kids play football, ride school buses, eat Thanksgiving turkey, and put up Christmas trees. Homesickness aside, Eduardo's immigration experience is conflict-free; but warmly colored, comfortably rounded illustrations ably capture the change of the seasons and the happy anticipation that the wait for Christmas can provide.

(4) K-3 Fairy-Tale Superstars series. Illustrated by Carolina Farias. Each book briefly states whether its subject is real and then summarizes legends about it ("In fairy tales, most princesses have long hair"). Though the books might serve as introductions for readers completely unfamiliar with folklore, they won't teach other readers very much that's new. The illustrations in Fairies and Princesses create a lighter atmosphere than in Dragons. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers these Fairy-Tale Superstars titles: The Truth About Princesses, The Truth About Fairies, and The Truth About Dragons.
