"The Puerto Rican culture is celebrated in this exuberant collection of songs, riddles, stories and games. Beginning with a "Waking Up Song" and continuing through to the "Tooth Fairy Rhyme" (The Tooth Fairy is a mouse in Puerto Rico), the reader is treated to a day of vigorous activities. Most of the text is written in both English and Spanish. Definitions of many Spanish expressions and factual information about Puerto Rico are incorporated throughout."
