In Publisher's Weekly. A bilingual picture book of monsters and heroes vividly illustrated by Jeremy Higginbotham (for girls or boys ages 4+ ESL/ELL, preschool - 8th grade). Elena is a sensible child. Unlike her wacked-out brother Benjamin, she sticks to reason and facts--but not for long. Elena's practical world is about to be turned on its ear thanks, in part, to her baby brother Ivan...and an unusual guest. Kids love to find "it" and count its shapes. Look inside!
