PreS-Gr 1—A girl enjoys being pushed on a swing by her dad. The higher she goes, the more imaginative she becomes. "Higher! Higher!/¡Más alto! ¡Más alto!" becomes her mantra as she flies past tall buildings, skims past mountain peaks, and catapults into space. As she swings back down to Earth, she arrives safely into her father's arms, asking to do it all over again. Patricelli's simple, bold lines and bright, saturated colors convey the excitement the child's experience. The side-by-side English and Spanish text is perfect for reading aloud although the illustrations really do the talking and make viewers soar.—Shannon Dye, Peoria Public Library, AZ
New ed., 2009. In Birthday, a baby plays with a box in imaginative ways. In Higher! Higher!, a girl swings so high she meets a space alien. The only part of the books that's not a direct translation from the original edition is in Higher! Higher!: the girl says, "High five!" and the alien responds "¡Amigos!" Young children will surely enjoy these colorful bilingual board books. Review covers these titles: The Birthday Box / Mi caja de cumpleaños and Higher! Higher! / ¡Más alto! ¡Más alto!
