Praise for this book

Praise for Besos for Baby: A Texas Library Association 2x2 Reading List Selection
"Each two-page spread features a bouncy rhyme in English followed by the perky Spanish refrain. Gomez's cute and blocky illustrations in cheery colors clearly depict each character, and a picture glossary at the end defines each Spanish word. Little ones will be delighted by the happy faces and affectionate world little bebé explores."--Booklist
