PreS-Gr 1—This Spanish-language work (Tickles) starts off as a look at the many delights of a wintry day. Several bundled-up figures somersault through the snow and tickle the clouds with their brooms. When an angry cloud appears and blows a harsh wind, everyone assumes it is mean, but they soon realize it just wants to be tickled, too! The bold, collage-style illustrations clearly depict the action, and with only a few sentences per page, this title would work well as a read-aloud for preschool groups. It could be coupled with a unit on weather, winter, or including everyone in play. A sense of magic pervades this charming tale.
VERDICT A lovely addition to Spanish-language collections and storytimes.
