Triángulo (Somos8) (Spanish Edition)
by  Mac Barnett, Jon Klassen (illustrator)

Triangle walks a long way over to Square’s house to play a trick on him. He stands outside Square’s door and hisses like snakes, because he knows that Square is scared of snakes. At first, Square is really scared, but then he hears Triangle laughing, so he chases Triangle back to Triangle’s house. He can’t get in the triangle-shaped door, so he gets stuck there blocking the door. But now it is Triangle’s turn to get scared. Square is blocking out all the light from the door, and it is very dark inside the house. Triangle is afraid of the dark! Triangle gets a taste of his own medicine.

I am also scared of snakes, so I felt like Triangle’s trick was really mean. I was cheering for Square to chase him. They are both so mean to each other, but it was also really hilarious! There is something so unique and expressive about Jon Klassen’s artwork. I love it so much!

Charlie Super F (INGLÉS)
by  Margarita Del Mazo, Guridi (illustrator)

Charlie wants to be a superhero! He devises the perfect superhero costume with an “F” on the front that stands for “fly”. He trains hard all day, running everywhere and racing up and down the stairs to build his muscles. But it’s exhausting and he falls asleep in the middle of dinner. When he is attacked by a big dog, he runs and runs, wishing that he could really fly in order to get away. But Charlie the Superhero is defeated by the dog… with lots of slobbery dog kisses.

This is such a sweet book! Charlie is hilarious and adorable. He’s such a weird little kid, living in his own imagination. I like that he takes being a superhero very seriously, enlisting the help of his best friend who is an expert on comic book super heroes. Together they explore every aspect of superhero life, and have a lot of fun along the way.

The illustrations are really cute, and every page is full of color and energy!

Daniela the Pirate and the Evil Cyclops
by  Susanna Isern, Gómez (illustrator)

When the prince of the kingdom is kidnapped by an evil lady cyclops, Daniela and her pirate crew race to the rescue! But when they arrive on the island, the cyclops traps them in a cage. They will have to be very clever if they want to escape with the prince. Daniela squeezes through the bars of the cage and finds the key to release all her friends! The cyclops discovers that they are escaping and runs after them, grabbing their pirate ship and shaking it like a toy. But Daniela has befriended some mice and she asks them to run up and down the cyclops’s back, tickling her until she agrees to let them go. Daniela returns the prince to his kingdom and they celebrate and receive a large reward from the king!

This is such a fun adventure! I love that Daniela and her crew win the day through their resilience and clever tricks. They stick together through thick and thin like a loyal crew ought to do.
The illustrations are really cute and I like the comedic style that brings even more hilarity into the story.

Matthew’s Birthday Party
by Pato Mena (Goodreads Author)

On the way to the birthday party, a little girl asks her father, “If we were cats, how would get to the party?” And the father makes up all sorts of hilarious scenarios of how they would get to the party if they were cats, birds, frogs, ghosts, rhinos, or aliens. What if they were witches but had lost their brooms? They would cast a spell on a storm cloud to carry them. What if they were aliens in disguise as green bushes but a dog barked at them? They would pee on the dog, he says, “right on his snout.” They finally arrive at the party, and the little girl imagines that all those creatures come in to play too.

I thought the thing about peeing on the dog was pretty weird. I guess dogs pee on bushes, so now an alien that looks like a bush would pee on the dog? Still weird.

The illustrations are so vibrant and colorful! I loved all the crazy imaginings of what they would do if they were different creatures. It’s so clever and unique for each scenario!

Gracias (Somos8) (Spanish Edition)
by Jarvis

A little boy gives thanks for the sun and the moon. He gives thanks to his boots for knowing the way, and to the tree for its shade. He thanks his hat for keeping his thoughts safely inside his head. He thanks blue and yellow for making green. He thanks his toothbrush for his smile, and thanks the bathtub for the bubbles. He wanted to thank the elephant, but can’t remember what for. He thanks his cat for purring, and thanks his bike for being fast. When he has finished giving thanks to everything he can think of, he starts giving thanks again from the beginning.

This book is so cute and adorable! I love the positive messages of being grateful for the little things in life. There is something so joyful and peaceful in this book full of happy things to be thankful for. I love the warm illustrations! You can really feel the vibrancy and energy in every page. I love that the little boy is so thoughtful to take the time to find things to be grateful for, no matter how small.
