Reviews

A breezy delight, Cceres' picture-book debut takes a modest premise to humorous heights, bolstered by a reassuring message to readers who may be in a similar spot as Nena. The artist's zesty, colourful digital illustrations have a childlike appeal . . . Pawsitively wholesome. * Kirkus Reviews on MY DOG JUST SPEAKS SPANISH *
A diverting story that also creates a fun opportunity for both English - and Spanish-speaking children to expand their language acquisition . . . a delightful romp with a beloved pet and a valuable language lesson to boot. * Shelf Awareness on MY DOG JUST SPEAKS SPANISH *
The picture book is as sweet as it is simple, following Aurora around her new city as she demonstrates the words Nena knows in Spanish . . . this makes an excellent addition for young readers practicing reading, and even for those newly learning English or picking up Spanish terms. * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books on MY DOG JUST SPEAKS SPANISH *
This book gently explores the idea of second-language acquisition, children who translate for others, and code switching, suggesting patience with those who learn at different speeds . . . Colorful, happy digitally rendered illustrations show the closeness between girl and dog, and Nena's friendly, affectionate nature. * The Horn Book on MY DOG JUST SPEAKS SPANISH *
