An axolotl isn't a monster! It's actually a type of salamander that lives in the canals around Mexico City. Once plentiful, now pollution in the water has made them rare - but the community is doing its part to restore the canals, and make them more environmentally friendly - better water = more axolotl.
Laura Gonzalez's illustrations are beautiful! The axolotl is so cute, at every stage of life - my goodness! There's Spanish throughout the text, with a vocabulary list at the back. Also contains an author's note and photographs!
