I did not like this book at all except for the fact that it is bilingual and written in English and Spanish. I did not like that the book had no plot or story line. The book followed a boy as he walked around his neighborhood and described the building ans people who worked and lived there. The book was overall boring and definitely not fun to read.
Quinito guides the readers through his neighborhood explaining what jobs his neighbor's and family members have. Most of the jobs challenge gender stereotypes.

Personal Response
The story is bilingual, told in English and Spanish. The story makes Quinito’s neighborhood a place that young children will enjoy reading. The book is written in A writing that looks like a child's handwriting.
