Praise
“Gato Guapo’s got a lot of style, and so does the book—the anthropomorphized animals cut winsome poses and will readily endear themselves to readers. Playfully and skillfully balancing two languages, this cat tale proves cute and clever.” —Kirkus Reviews
“This lighthearted counting book, written in a smooth blend of Spanish and English features follows Gato Guapo and nine kitten hermanitos on a jaunt through town. Playful drawings, rendered digitally from watercolor and colored pencil, provide a clever and engaging backdrop that features other animal characters and Spanish vocabulary.” —Horn Book Magazine
