PreS-Gr 2-A pink teddy bear is weeping inconsolably. He has lost his dream and desperately wants to find it. Trying hard to help him but not sure how, four friends thoroughly search their surroundings. The giraffe stretches his neck into the clouds and brings down a scarf; the horse runs east and west as fast as he can and comes back with some horseshoes; and the frog dives into the river and finds the perfect sunglasses. The three fail in their mission: they offer the sad-looking bear items that fulfill their own dreams, not his. Finally, a fourth friend comes to the rescue: a wise old owl knows exactly what to do. The outstanding illustrations-an uncommon blend of oil and mixed media that includes newspaper pages and maps-bring the story to life. Each character seems to pop from the rose-colored pages, and the entertaining dialog stands out in the text for an easy read. The whimsical story effectively gets across the point that we all need to be understanding of each other's dreams, whatever they may be. This book belongs in school and public libraries, as well as bookstores.-Beth Rotella, New York City De Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel. Felipe Garrido, adapt.Gr 2-5-This cartoon edition of a beloved classic deserves credit for staying close to the original plot lines. Unfortunately, the spirit of the tale is lost, including the whimsy and hope of Cervantes's book. The comic-book style, with three to four frames per page and each with their own text balloons, seems promising; however, it fails in the execution. Characters and props are drawn over photographs of real landscapes, similar to Who Framed Roger Rabbit but with less attention to detail. This blend is visually distracting: readers are neither swept up in the pure fantasy of make believe people in an invented world, nor are they able to imagine a person so pure of imagination that he actually lives his stories in the "real" world. Now in its third edition, this title is a noble idea-adapting a complex and important literary work for children-but is ultimately unsatisfying.-Anat Shenker, Univ. of California, Berkeley(c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Critique de Booklist
Noteworthy graphic-novel adaptations of major Spanish works are just starting to appear on the scene. In this adaptation of Cervantes' classic, Garrido, a member of the Mexican Academia de la Lengua, includes many of the well-known adventures and misadventures of Don Quixote and his shrewd squire, Sancho Panza, all detailed in plain, contemporary Spanish that language learners as well as fluent speakers will enjoy. The witty illustrations in bright colors greatly extend the telling.--Schon, Isabel Copyright 2009 Booklist
