The Hawk of the Castle: A Story of Medieval Falconry by Danna Smith

I LOVED the illustrations, and the way this story mixes European history and science.

Dos en el zoologico/Two at the Zoo bilingual board… by Danna Smith

The Spanish and English lines are pretty different (in order to preserve the rhyme in both languages) and both really work. I find this one fun to read.
