Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
Entre dos montañas, cerca de un arroyo, en medio de la nada, se encuentra una escuela sin patio de juegos, gimnasio, biblioteca, ni computadoras. Como dice la niña que nos cuenta está historia: "Nuestra escuela no tiene casi nada. Un pizarrón, unas sillas". Pero en esta escuela hay algo que nadie más tiene: una maestra como ninguna otra en el mundo. "Ahí está siempre, en la puerta de la escuela esperándonos en la mañana", dice la niña. El día en que se desarrolla esta historia, la maestra lleva a sus alumnos afuera y les pide que dibujen algo grande y puntiagudo escondido entre los árboles. A medida que los estudiantes observan de cerca, comienzan a comprender lo que están viendo... ¡pero, entonces, la maestra ya está señalando a la próxima bestia magnífica! Este inspirador e ingenioso libro hará que cualquier niño tenga el inmenso deseo de asistir a esta escuela especial y recibir lecciones de esta extraordinaria maestra. ¿Y quién dice que esto no puede suceder en todas partes?

K-Gr 2--A young girl introduces readers to her school, which on the surface appears to be a small building with only a chalkboard and a few chairs. Students come from different directions to this small school and are greeted by the teacher, who is soon revealed to be the reason this school is so special. As the children head outside for a day of exploration, the teacher begins to point out the magnificent dinosaurs that are all around them--a brontosaurus hidden among the trees near the river, pterodactyls flying above and blocking the sun, an incredible T. rex thundering through the woods. The children stop and draw each of these dinosaurs; by the time they reach the school at the end of the day, each child has a big stack. The teacher waves goodbye, and the young girl walks home, thinking about her little school full of so much, thanks to the teacher. Concise Spanish text conveys feelings of excitement and amazement, along with a charming sense of peace. The white sky at times contrasts sharply with the surroundings, and the lush greenery and characters come to the forefront. Bold black outlines further emphasize the characters, bringing their colorful clothing and expressive faces into focus. Several spreads reveal immense dinosaurs that will elicit giggles. There's a diversity of representation in this class, with students presenting as Black, East Asian, South Asian, Latinx, and more. VERDICT A lovely addition to Spanish picture book collections, this excellent title conveys the importance of teachers and of imagination.--Selenia Paz
