Title: Word fun
Review: As the mother of bilingual sons, I was a little concerned about the streotyping when I saw this in the library. But I took it home anyway, as we own a Siamese. It turned out to be a romp through both languages, with alot of English words skewered to make them rhyme.My 4-year-old hasn't mastered rhymes yet, and was bored by the plot, which is a little esoteric. It takes 2 readings to figure out what happened. But my 8-year-old loves the book for the word play and silly situations. Having been to Machu Picchu, he loves the reference to it in the password. And he loves being able to understand the Spanish words.As a bonus, I have used the book to discuss consequences of disobedience.
