(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rafael López. This volume extends the Mexican celebration of El día de los niños (The Day of the Child) by adding books to the mix (El día de los libros). Mora's rhymed text extols reading anywhere, anytime, and together with anyone. López's rich-hued images of children reading in unexpected places (e.g., an elephant's back) and exotic locales rejoice in imagination and universality.
