“Cute book, but I think especially good for those learning Spanish/English, as it has a sentence on each page in both languages and an illustration to go with it. I'm not personally familiar with Selena, so the book just felt a little disjointed for me, but I'm sure her fans would love this book and give it a great rating.”
