There is another desert party in the works in this spicy companion book to Mañana, Iguana. This time it is Snake's birthday, and Iguana, Tortoise, and Rabbit are shopping for birthday gifts to bring to his fiesta. But what presents would they buy for Snake? In a sneaky twist, Rabbit convinces them to buy gifts that aren't for Snake at all-but for himself! With a clever text, a spattering of Spanish vocabulary, and lively illustrations, this author-illustrator team presents quite the fiesta fiasco. Glossary included.
Iguana, Conjeo, Culebra, and Tortuga return for another amusing adventure. It is Culebra's birthday and each of his friends wants to buy him the perfect regalo (present). In shopping for the gifts Conejo has his own ideas about what would be the perfect gift. The wily rabbit convinces his friends to buy a sombrero, a camisa (shirt) and pantelones (pants) for their friend snake. At the fiesta a disappointed Culebra points out that he likes the sun and would not want to cover his head, and he has no need of a shirt or pants. When Conejo is too eager to take the gifts himself, all the animals realize they have been tricked. Banished from the rest of the celebration, Conjeo comes up with a clever solution that shows he has learned just what it means to be a good friend. Conjeo's apology is just in time to share in the torta and sing Feliz Cumpleanos. A spicy hot palette of orange, yellow, and green on pristine white background focuses attention on the comical cartoon characters. Spanish words are sprinkled throughout the text of this delightful and playful tale of friendship. The spirited story is a fitting sequel to Manana Iguana.

Fiesta Fiasco
Fiesta Fiasco is about a group of animals trying to throw the perfect birthday party for their friend Culebra the snake. In their preparation for the fiesta, the animals learn what it means to be a good amigo. While the animals do not have any nationality, this book includes a lot of Spanish vocabulary and does a good job providing enough context so that kids can learn what the words mean in English. The book could also be a good transition for Spanish speaking English Language Learners because it provides some familiar vocabulary. While this book can be a good window to another culture, it does not go past the five F's like many picture books do not. At first I thought this book might be more targeted towards Spanish speaking children but after thinking about it I realized that it is likely a window into another culture for many children. I think it's a cool way to teach kids a Spanish vocabulary to talk about something everybody loves - Birthdays!! There is also a theme of selflessness and this could be a good tool to teach kids how to pick out presents for their friends birthdays. At first Conejo buys Culebra presents that he wants like pants and is eventually ejected from the celebration. He then returns with suitable gifts for Culebra and is welcomed back. I feel like Conejo's actions are common for many kids and many kids could learn from this book!
