BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Alex likes to hear his mama tell him stories about Abuela in Cuba - but one day it's not just a story, she is coming to live with them and share Alex's room. How exciting. Soon there's more news, his Aunt Celia is coming to live with them and she's bringing Alex's 3 cousins, too. That is a big family! But now cousin Beto is coming, too! So many people in a house that used to be for 3.
Multiple families living under one roof is a reality for many kids - I'm delighted to see a picture book that represents this in such a happy way. Alex is so positive, and even though things aren't perfect he's making the best of things. Micha Archer's illustrations are bright and colorful, they say almost as much as the text does. A fun picture book about having a full house.
