Bravo!

Simple phrases and vocabulary words form a kind of loose, staccato verse in this story of two siblings exploring the outside world, which follows this team's Siesta and ¡Fiesta! "Vamos. Let's go," whispers a girl to her younger brother. "Afuera. Outside./ Buscando. Searching./ Aquí, allá. Here, there./ Por todas partes. Everywhere." In gauzy full-bleed scenes, Moreno pictures the children loading up a red wagon with their discoveries ("¡Mira! Look!/ Campanas. Bells"), after which friends arrive for an impromptu concert. Kids can share in the siblings' joy of discovery—the book is an ideal primer for those learning either English or Spanish. Ages 2–5. (Sept.)
