Who would bring the door, la puerta, to a picnic instead of the pig, el puerco? An old man who’s great at gardening but lousy at listening to his wife! In the universal tradition of the wise-fool story, this gentle disaster tale is funny and affectionate….The combination is great for reading aloud.
– Booklist Cepeda makes brilliant use of color, form, and perspective to add humor to the work. It’s a story children will want to retell themselves.
– Kirkus Reviews
