From Booklist
Gr. 2-4. This bilingual adaptation of the Grimm brothers' parable is done with style and humor in both Spanish and English. Four aging animals--a rooster, a donkey, a dog and a cat--are deemed useless and turned out by their masters. Thinking themselves musicians, they make their way to Bremen to join the city band. After outwitting a band of robbers in a house, they remain there as friends and are sidetracked from their goal. The ironic tale is told in a style that lends itself to reading aloud, with repetitions, sounds, and rhythms appropriate to each animal. The author's Catalan background makes the Spanish a bit stilted in places, but the charm and cleverness of the storytelling style overcome the occasional awkwardness. The stylized illustrations are simple, elegant, and done in vivid yet understated colors, giving the tale a modern feel. Stella Clark
