" - Booklist "A culturally intricate slice of a lupine courier's life." - Kirkus Reviews "The Book of the Year is now out!" - Tom Angleberger, New York Times bestselling author of the Origami Yoda series "Hats off to Raúl the Third for this BRILLIANT and BEAUTIFUL new picture book. You can read it a hundred times and see something new and extraordinary every time." - Dav Pilkey, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dog Man series "The grab bag of bilingual terms embedded in dialogue, signage, and stray scraps of text invite all readers to have a grand time latching onto what they know and figuring out what they don't." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) Certain children want nothing more than to sit with a book forever, picking out every single little detail and delighting in it. For these kids, Raúl the Third is a 21st-century Richard Scarry, and his busy border town is a treasure trove. - Slate.
