There are few books in Spanish that are as authentic as this one. The colors, the drawings, the relationships, and the story reflect our culture so well. It is a great introductions into the wonderful Latin American tradition of incorporating fantasy into stories -- it leaves you wondering is this real or is this a dream? If you speak Spanish, I strongly recommend you buy the Spanish edition.

I really like this book. I got it to read to my daughter so that she is reminded of her grandma who lives over 700 miles away in FL. I like it because I can relate to it. Although I was not born in the Caribbean islands that is where my family is from. It is a great read to enhance her development.

We have had this book for a few years now and it is one of our favorites. The writing is simple and full of Spanish words that kids can easily relate to on an everyday level. The illustrations are bright, creative and full of wonder. Rosalba and her Abuela,(grandma), go flying through air over New York City seeing the sights from a birds eye view. As they go along, they speak a little Spanish and describe what they are seeing. It is really a wonderful way to introduce a few Spanish words and see some colorful illustrations too. Enjoy!
