★ "[A]n exuberant debut . . . . Written in bouyant rhyming quatrains . . . . Crisp rhymes in English and Spanish offer the feel of a bus bustling with animals and people, while Gómez’s digitally finished sketches contribute layered and saturated images of flora and fauna."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

"This picture book is a great read-along and even contains a short glossary in the back, in case readers are not familiar with some of the terms for foods or other regional words. This book has been translated into Spanish and adapted in rhyme, making it a delight in both languages."—Booklist
