Goodreads

Little Lobo is heading to the mercado to deliver much needed supplies to his community. There are so many things to see, smell, taste, and do at the market, and Little Lobo stops to visit with all his friends along the way.

I love the story in this book. The sense of community and comraderie is wonderful, and it’s just a good book. There are many spanish words and phrases throughout the book, and many are translated on the same page. There is a glossary of Spanish words at the end of hte book that includes all the words that appear in the book. The comic book style illustrations are great but so busy it’s a little overwhelming at times. If not for that, this book would have gotten 5 stars from me.
