★ "[A] charming debut picture book . . . Each colorful spread is met with four lines of sweet rhymes. Kids will enjoy looking at all the details in the vibrant illustrations . . . A bright and welcoming addition to books about vehicles, with a huge bonus of centering contemporary Colombian culture." —School Library Journal, starred review
★ "Alvarez Gómez makes superb use of color: the lush greens of the surrounding country, punctuated by pops of red, orange, and purple; rich earth tones for the buildings in the square; and, of course, La Chiva, a veritable rainbow. Interspersed with Spanish, the rhyming verse bounces along as energetically as the titular bus . . . A delightful journey; readers will be eager for repeat trips." —Kirkus, starred review
★ "[A]n exuberant debut . . . . Written in bouyant rhyming quatrains . . . . Crisp rhymes in English and Spanish offer the feel of a bus bustling with animals and people, while Gómez’s digitally finished sketches contribute layered and saturated images of flora and fauna." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"This picture book is a great read-along and even contains a short glossary in the back, in case readers are not familiar with some of the terms for foods or other regional words. This book has been translated into Spanish and adapted in rhyme, making it a delight in both languages." —Booklist
