School Library Journal - 10/01/2025 PreS-Gr 1—A little girl can't fall asleep in this bilingual story full of magic. Marisol has gone through her bedtime routine of saying good night to everyone, but now that she's alone in bed she can't relax enough to sleep. She tries counting animals, but every time she imagines them, they appear in her room! This Spanish/English narrative not only supports learning to count in two languages but also validates the very real struggle that children have winding down for the night. Whimsical and relatable, this will resonate with its audience. VERDICT A good purchase for bilingual picture book collections and bedtime story shelves.—Carolina Youssif - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
