[Kimberly · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this as a read-aloud to my three boys as part of our Argentina study. They loved both the illustrations and the story. I think it gave them a great glimpse into a life so different from their own. We also loved the visual dictionary of Spanish words used in the story. Overall, this was a terrific book to introduce us to life on an Argentine ranch.
