PreS-Gr 2–El gato Boris returns in these two collections of captivating stories about a curious and friendly cat and his friends. Both volumes feature eight stories about the daily happenings in the life of Boris the cat. Each vignette is made up of six colorful pages and the accompanying text. The bright, crisp illustrations provide a peaceful welcome into Boris’s world, and the Spanish text is humorous and conversational, often expressing excitement and asking readers questions. Boris’s world is surrounded by nature, and he spends much of his time outdoors working on his own projects or enjoying time with friends, such as Ernesto, a hedgehog who loves to invent, and Bruno the bear. Boris’s adventures include trying out some of Ernesto’s inventions, helping friends, falling into predicaments, and having fun outdoors. Readers will enjoy browsing the illustrations and joining Boris in his daily activities, both peaceful and adventurous, and will undoubtedly want to reach for more Boris adventures after they are done.
VERDICT These Spanish picture books featuring the fun and curious adventures of a friendly cat would be excellent additions to Spanish-language children’s collections.
