From School Library Journal
K-Gr 2-In this third book about the irrepressible Pepita, the girl finds herself in bind after bind due to a tendency to daydream. However, she is unconcerned about her lateness despite repeated complaints from others that it impacts them negatively. It is not until the child gets to school too late to go on a field trip and disappoints both herself and a friend that the lesson begins to sink in. By the narrative's end, Pepita is ready to hustle along, cognizant of the merits of being considerate of others. More than a little didactic, the lengthy text hammers the point home in English and in Spanish. Young readers or listeners will certainly get the point-and long before the recalcitrant Pepita. The full-page, pen-and-ink and watercolor cartoon illustrations are clean and have considerable child appeal, and the small inset designs that separate the English text from the Spanish have a sort of greeting-card charm. Readers who have enjoyed the two earlier Pepita books or who are fans of Jan Romero Stevens's "Carlos" books (Rising Moon) may enjoy this story. Others, however, will find themselves better served by such standards as Ruth Wallace-Brodeur's Home by Five (McElderry, 1992; o.p.) or John Burningham's John Patrick Norman McHennessy (Crown, 1999).-Ann Welton, Terminal Park Elementary School, Auburn, WA
