A Latinx take on the various folktales surrounding a child with a long name who needs assistance. It also has a glossary in the back for the Spanish words it tosses in.

Very funny retelling of a Tikki-Tikki-Tembo story. My 6yo loves chanting Pacho Nacho Nico Tico Melo Felo Kiko Rico.

The sole reason I gave this one star is due to its readability. Who picked the font? It is not an accessible font, whether in size or style. I opened the book and was like.....yeah not going to happen.

And that is sad because the illustrations are vibrant and wonderful. Selena also is an important cultural icon that I would like more people to know about!
