(4) K-3 Translated by Eida de la Vega. Illustrated by Bonnie Adamson. Freckle-faced Abby wants to wear glasses like Rosa while Rosa wishes for freckles. The girls improvise (e.g., Rosa dots her cheeks with makeup; Abby wears her granny's reading glasses), but they realize their efforts aren't worth the hassle. Pencil and watercolor illustrations add gentle humor. The bilingual text is uneven; some of the Spanish includes difficult or incorrect vocabulary words. Glos. Review covers these titles: I Wish I Had Freckles like Abby and I Wish I Had Glasses like Rosa.
Reviewer: Alissa C. Salamone
