I read this book and listened to it on audio tape, which was narrated to allow children to follow along in the text. The audio version was well narrated and frequently used sound effects to enhance the story. The reader, Willie Colon, used his voice very well to bring to life the different characters in this story. The glossary at the end of the book was also read aloud to define the Spanish words in the text.

This book won a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year award. ...more

5 years and up

Genre:

picture book

Diversity:

anthropomorphic characters; Mexican American cats

Illustrations:

There are beautiful color illustrations that look like painting on every page, very colorful and engaging. Also, on most pages, preceding or following the text is a comic strip of the action. This is where most of the dialogue takes place. Very adorable.

Personal response:

Another cute story about Chato and Novio Boy. My daughter thinks they are gay lovers and I'm starting to believe her. Frankly, it just makes me like them more. I love me some gays. What was I talking about? Oh right. So this one is about keeping promises, even for people you don't necessarily like or who might deserve whatever trouble they get into, and no matter how hard it might be sometimes. Because ultimately keeping a promise is about who YOU are, not the other person.

2 cats go on a cruise and somehow wind up on a cruise with all dogs.

Fun little comic strips throughout the book.

Mostly written in English with some Spanish words. Glossary of Spanish words is in the back.
