SP K-Gr 3–A human adult takes their dog for a morning stroll, along a windy, cold, and coastal shore. A nearby lighthouse shines upon a mysterious creature that catches the dog’s attention and heart. The enamored pet forgets about everything around him and is fixated on getting closer and closer to the love of his life. What starts as a story of a hopeless romantic dog then unravels action-packed scenarios that serve as secondary characters and story lines into the “donjuán” quest for love. Whimsical illustrations complement this picture book from Spain that showcases a narrative of finding love, its disappointments, and unexpected twists of life itself.
VERDICT A fun choice for Spanish-language shelves.
