Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
SEAMOS HONESTOS/ LET'S BE HONEST.
DAVID. ARMENTROUT · 2024
70/100
👍 Worth It
A purposeful little bilingual picture book that does its job well — Simon Zebra's honesty dilemma is simple enough for a four-year-old to follow, and the dual English-Spanish text makes it genuinely useful in multilingual households and classrooms. It's a functional character-education book rather than a literary one, but Crabtree Publishing's curriculum-aligned pedigree means teachers and parents can trust it. Don't expect a memorable story; do expect a reliable tool.
