"Allende has created an appealingly wry, confiding, and easygoing storyteller in Perla. Rodríguez's watercolor and ink illustrations . . . doesn't lack for festive colors or community spirit. Good dog--and good book." --Kirkus Reviews"Allende's English and Spanish versions individually sparkle with wit, charm, and an engaging tone, and . . . Rodríguez's use of ink and watercolor imbues the cartoonish characters with warmth and expressiveness, and the distinct personalities of the humans and the little pup make the world feel full, rich with possibilities." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
