* "Two stellar vets come together to celebrate wordplay. A marvelous collection of poems that extol the fun, adventure, and emotion that come with using one's words. A joyous invitation to put pen (or paintbrush) to paper." -- Booklist , starred review "[Mora's] openhearted enthusiasm and sense of wonder is always evident and inviting, and there's plenty of "you go, young poet" encouragement woven throughout the verses. The fanciful, poster-like images by Colón, inspired by the radiant color work of Rufino Tamayo, match the verses' earnestness and joy." -- Publisher's Weekly "The virtues of reading and playing with words collide in Mora and Colón's latest collaboration. Overall, the superb pictures feature a racially diverse cast--often with elongated, lively bodies--and landscapes full of curves and curls in bright, earthy colors. [T]he author peppers Spanish phrases here and there to add some new layers to a gratifying collection.

Joy indeed." -- Kirkus Reviews "Young bibliophiles, logophiles, and poetry lovers will cherish this collected volume of Mora's verse, beautifully illustrated by Colón. Best of all, after reading, children may share Tomás's sentiment in "Library Magic": "¡Vámos! Let's all go to the library/Join the fun, a treasure house that's free." . Perfectly suited to libraries, a top addition to poetry collections" -- School Library Journal Original Art Show, Society of Illustrators.
