Eric & Julieta: ¿Dónde está Eric? / Where Is Eric? (Bilingual) (Bilingual Edition: English & Spanish)
Big brother Eric keeps trying to get his little sister, Julieta, in trouble. But somehow his mom always knows who the REAL instigator is!
Eric y Julieta tienen un gato. A Julieta le encanta tratarlo como si fuera una muñeca y a Eric le gusta más que se suba a su autito de control remoto. Eric además le puso de nombre Eric porque así, cuando digan su nombre, no tiene que responder y puede decir que pensaba que llamaban al gato.

I'm grabbing kid books that are bilingual to work on my learning of Spanish. I start feeling good on my Duolingo sessions, but realize quickly how limited my vocabulary REALLY is when I can't read/translate some of these simple kid books. haha
But this book has some problems:
- The English is in a fairly clear plain black font, although it could have been a simpler font.
- The Spanish is also in black, but in a very-hard-to-read artsy font. Why?
- The kid has a cat named Eric, and his name is Eric, so he can blame the cat. haha. While ~funny, this would not happen in ANY household.
- On page 4, Eric is dressed as a fireman to climb to a low branch to get his cat, as his dog leans on a brick divider wall. But the text reads:
I have more fun with Eric than with Julieta.
We play games together.
What is this "game"? The cat is stuck in a tree. And this belittles the dog.
- At the end, his little sister is dressing up the cat, and Eric (boy) pulls the cat away and makes her cry. Why perpetuate the stereotype of little 'boys being boys' and tormenting their sister, and not even the cat looks too happy.
Nope.
