Sus encantadoras ilustraciones le dan vida a la historia. Es una lectura muy placentera para cualquier niño. —Corinne Ludy – Bibliotecaria de Escuela Primaria Miss Bebe Comes to America by Lynda Humphrey is a children's illustrated story about a kitty named Miss Bebe and its life and journey from Mexico to America. Miss Bebe begins this book by recounting its life in the first person. Miss Bebe had a tough life in its first six months of life until it was adopted by Mom and Dad, i.e. the current owners. From that moment, Miss Bebe understood the true meaning of love and the warmth of a real home. Miss Bebe's life soon changed drastically due to Mom and Dad's decision to move from Mexico to the United States. However, location doesn't matter when you're with the people you love and who love you. This book is a gorgeous and precious illustrated treat of a story for all cat and animal lovers, not just children. First of all, the biggest plus of this story is its linguistic duality, considering that the text is written in two languages, Spanish and English. This is an ideal book for multilingual children, especially those who speak English and Spanish. In addition, it can also be a fun tool for learning and practicing one of these two languages. Furthermore, the stunning illustrations that richly adorn this entire book delighted me. Judi Nyerges, who is the illustrator of this story, really did a fantastic job.The drawings are colourful, vibrant and authentic. I particularly like the fact that they are not the usual digital illustrations but seem to be drawn by hand with watercolours or tempera. As for the plot itself, I primarily like its message. If we decide to have pets, we have to take care of them and give them all the necessary care, devotion and love. Mom and Dad from this story are very good examples of good owners. Considering all the above, I give the book 5 out of 5 stars. The rating is high because I liked and enjoyed every aspect of the story. In addition, considering that I have a physical copy of the book, I would like to praise the quality of the paper and the dimensions of the pages, which are quite large.
