Carlos Digs to China / Carlos Excava Hasta La China

Carlos stars in his fifth book, Carlos Digs to China/Carlos excava hasta la China, in which the curious protagonist is inspired by a delectable meal at a Chinese restaurant to literally dig his way to the Asian country and attracts quite a crowd of spectators. English and Spanish texts appear on one side of each spread, and the illustrations opposite feature thick brushstrokes in festival-bright colors. Along the journey, the narrative mentions many Chinese and Mexican dishes, and a recipe for Arroz Dulce (Sweet Rice) closes the volume. ( Mar.)
