Featured Reviews

This adorably illustrated nonfiction book talks about many facets of a Mexican prairie dog’s life and how it relates to the importance of land conservation. Spanish words are sprinkled in the text; they are highlighted in red to match each word to its shape. A list of Spanish vocabulary is included at the end, along with an Author’s Note with detailed scientific information. A book that is as entertaining as it is informative!
