Manolito Four-Eyes: The 2nd Volume of the Great Encyclopedia of My Life

149 pp. | Cavendish | April, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7614-5470-0 $15.99
(3) 4-6 Translated by Caroline Travalia. Illustrated by Emilio Urberuaga. It's a pleasure to see a second Manolito book getting an English translation. While the "plot" is little more than a loosely connected series of anecdotes, illustrated with spirited black-and-white drawings, they're really funny ones (e.g., mistakenly calling out the name of a player from the other team during a soccer match). Manolito's breezy first-person narration is charming and completely believable.
