Description:

The Barker twins have a new hermano--brother, that is! Moffie and Morgie, the adorable Welsh terrier pups introduced in Tomie dePaola's Meet the Barkers, are thrilled when their parents announce that they are adopting a 3-year-old boy. But Marcos only speaks Spanish, and he is a little overwhelmed by his new siblings' exuberance. "No Juego!" he finally says. No play. It takes a little adjusting, but soon the Barkers are one big happy familia.

This upbeat, sensitive story about an exciting but challenging situation will warm the hearts of every reader, especially those in adoptive families. Little Marcos is cute as can be, and it's easy to sense his ambivalence about his boisterous, friendly new brother and sister. Readers will cheer when he takes a stand for himself. Everyone in the family quickly learns that they each must learn from the other if they want to create household harmony. Several Spanish words and their translations are sprinkled throughout. (Ages 4 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
