Reviews
PrsS-Grade 3–A bilingual story of a Bronx-based Latino family and a father's reluctant engagement with his son's extraordinary imagination. The book realistically portrays a boy piecing together a spaceship from a wooden barrel and other household objects. Roberto's father is anything but impressed and is displeased to see his favorite chair–the one about to be commissioned for viewing the Yankees v. Red Sox game–usurped by his son for his haphazard journey. Nevertheless, with his mom's encouragement, his dad agrees to accompany the boy on his engineless trek. Through it all, readers learn how a simple game of catch between father and son can become an event of cosmic proportions. Here, it is the father who &comes of age, learning the value and enjoyment of time spent with his son. Rodriguez's color illustrations add flavor and dimension to this family's newfound love of the game and their growing appreciation of one another. A satisfying read-aloud in either English or Spanish.–Michael Shapiro, WebJunction/OCLC, Dublin, OH END
