No lessons were learned, no bad deed or prank was punished. This book about a cat and a mouse who are friends, getting into trouble, stealing food from children by scaring/biting them (which they kind of feel sorry for?). Bullying their best friend the dog and sort of apologizing? Lots of Spanish words/phrases that are mostly defined in the glossary, however there were quite a few terms I didn't know that it did not define. Also took me most of the book to find the glossary. Most kids don't know what a glossary is, let alone think to look for one. Did not enjoy. The only think I liked was the illustrations and the fact that the dialogue is in fun fonts so the kids can always tell who is speaking.

I did not like this book, but I think I know some reluctant readers who will go for it.

Very happy to stumble on this book! I'm not sure I ever would have found it if someone on Twitter hadn't recommended the author when I was looking for someone with a last name starting with Q - helped with completing the alphabet challenge!
This was a cute story, more writing than I was expecting so definitely suitable for older children (or adults :P). I've seen other reviews that complain about the use of Spanish words but I loved it -- some things I couldn't totally figure out even from the context but there is a glossary at the back so learn some new words!
