Cuando Yo Era Pequena = When I Was Little
Jamie Lee Curtis. Lectorum Publications, $19.99 (0pp) ISBN 978-84-95040-94-7
PreS-K-In this charming and smoothly translated tale, a four-year-old compares her current life with that of her infancy, touching on such topics as her beds, her activities, her foods, her behavior, and her modes of transportation. The humorous and busy illustrations provide plenty of detail for listeners and readers to pore over, from the characters' expressive faces to the items in a grocery cart. Because the situations offered for comparison are utterly age-appropriate, children will almost certainly identify with the narrator's pride in her maturity and link it to similar progress in their own lives. A surefire choice to entertain both its intended audience and the adults who read the book aloud. Coop Renner, Paul C. Moreno Elementary, El Paso, TX
