(3) K-3 In this Spanish-language (text not evaluated) edition, Enriqueta's mom gives her colored pencils, and she creates a thrilling story about a girl named Emilia and the monster who comes out of her wardrobe. Emilia's adventure is drawn with colored pencils--brightly colored, messy, dramatic scrawls; contrastingly neat, contained panels in pen-and-ink and watercolor show Enriqueta drawing and commenting on the story's progress. Concurrently published in English.
