Publisher's Weekly Review

PreS-Gr 2-Every day, from Monday through Saturday, Ernesto walks the streets of his neighborhood in the center of the city, visiting lampposts and mailboxes. On Sundays, this lonely-looking basset hound stays at home, organizing his bone collection and playing with his slippers. While resting comfortably on his chair one Sunday, a postcard is delivered under his door. Full of excitement at receiving his first letter ever, Ernesto realizes that the writing is different from what he is used to reading and, to make things worse, he does not recognize the island in the picture. Determined to solve the mystery, Ernesto sets out to find out who has written it and from where. His quest takes him to a variety of exotic places that include the Fiji Islands. It doesn't matter that the letter, in the end, is not for him. Along the way, Ernesto meets several characters who eventually become his friends. With engaging acrylic illustrations, Stuhrmann has crafted a beautifully written if uncomplicated adventure that is likely to appeal to preschoolers and kindergarteners during read-aloud time. Peppered with interesting vocabulary related to transportation and mail delivery, this accessible translation can be good for introducing these topics in young elementary classrooms.-Liliana Barro Zecker, Associate Professor, School of Education, DePaul Univ., Chicago, IL (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
