From Booklist
PreS-K. After charting jaunts along the Silk Road, on safari, and to the Galapagos in previous books, Krebs offers a fourth globetrotting picture book, this one about a family's appreciative--if idealized--visit to Mexico. On each spread, artwork inspired by the festive colors and distinctive iconography of Mexican folk crafts pairs with Krebs' singsong verse about a place or experience ("We climb amazing pyramids from ancient Mexico / And wonder how they're standing now / When built so long ago"). The family's perambulations too often focus on stock resort-pamphlet fantasies (dancing to mariachis, feasting with the locals) rather than specific sites, lending the book a generic quality exacerbated by the absence of informational text amplifying why the chosen scenes are considered representative. But the armchair-travel element may help rouse young students' enthusiasm for units on Mexico or Cinco de Mayo celebrations, and kids and adults alike will enjoy tackling the abundant Spanish vocabulary, present on every spread and in a glossary, and browsing the concluding map and appendixes.
