PreS-Gr 2 A meta-story comes to life as the very author of this picture book is pulled into the story to help. A little girl and a giraffe are enjoying themselves on the pages of a book, but no matter how hard the giraffe tries, she can't fit herself into the pages. Suddenly, she calls on the author to see if perhaps she can do something about it the book's author is the young girl accompanying the giraffe throughout the story. Upset that she can't fit into the pages, the giraffe almost abandons the story! But thankfully, the author is able to fit her in completely, and the story is ready to begin. The work concludes with one last twist. Much like Mo Willems's ¡No dejes que la Paloma conduzca el autobus!, this fun Spanish picture book with a spunky main character will have young readers laughing out loud. The up-close illustrations of the giraffe set upon the white background are striking, and the large, crisp text is easy to readwith the humor sure to make this a title young readers reach for multiple times. VERDICT A silly picture book that will have readers interacting with the main character, this is a great addition to Spanish picture book collections for children.Selenia Paz
