Over de Auteur

Marisa Montes was born in Puerto Rico, but also lived in Missouri and France. Like Gabi, she learned to use her head to fight bad guys -- she became a lawyer. Now she writes books for children full time, including picture books and mysteries. Marisa's favorite thing about Gabi is that she is brave. toon meer "Gabi doesn't let anything stand in her way, and she doesn't follow the crowd. She makes up her own mind about things." Marisa lives in Northern California with her husband and their pets, Toby the dwarf aquatic frog and Elton the goldfish. This is her first series for Scholastic. Unlike Gabi and Marisa, Joe Cepeda is not a girl. But he is an artist. He has illustrated such award-winning picture books for Scholastic as Mice and Beans, What a Truly Cool World, and Gracias, the Thanksgiving Turkey. He also creates paintings and drawings for book jackets, magazines, and newspapers. Joe likes Gabi's attitude, but he really relates to Papi because he's an "absentminded kind of guy." Joe says, "I'm like that ... I could put a tool in the refrigerator." He lives in Southern California with his wife and son (who looks sort of like Gabi's little brother, Miguelito) toon minder

I love a bilingual adaptation of a holiday story. The illustrations add to the spooky mood and it reads almost like poetry. The students would likely love it, especially the part where the kids scare the monsters at the end. It could be used to talk about different perspectives because of this.

A great book to use to reflect on Hispanic culture during Halloween time. Typically, we see the American representation of Halloween characters but this book puts a Hispanic twist on the holiday. It even has a great ending that will make children laugh.
