by Jose Lozano
There’s always a lot of action in the Mexican American neighborhood where Mr. Lozano lives. Amelia argues with Anita; Benito loves bean burritos but not bumblebees; Hortencia and Herminia hover around like hummingbirds; and Zacarias is catching some Zs on Zachary Street. José Lozano’s wacky little stories and illustrations combine Mexican culture with Sesame Street smarts to make for a wonderful read-aloud ABC book in Spanish and English.

Las pequeñas historias e ilustraciones de José Lozano combinan la cultura mexicana con la inteligencia de Sesame Street para hacer un maravilloso libro de ABC en español y en inglés.
