A "Hispanic" take on Tikki Tikki Tembo. I really hate that they call it that....but honestly, it was marketed that way.
Me, I love the rhyming names. I see kiddos having so so much fun with the LONG name! I love the Spanish uses for family names instead of "grandma" we have abuela and so forth. I LOVE exposing readers to bilingual phrases. And remember, we never might know who is in our storytime audience.
The illustrations are precious too. I wanted to hang out with Pacho and his brother....Juan <3

Pacho Nacho Nico Tico Melo Felo Kiko Rico is a young boy who gets into trouble with his younger brother Juan.
Juan’s trying to alert the adults who continue to make him say Pacho Nacho Nico Tico Melo Felo Kiko Rico‘s full name.
It’s a silly story based on a Japanese (and later a Chinese) children’s long name song. I remember singing Tikki Tikki Tembo as a kid.
This was a great read.

A great adaptation of Tikki-Tikki-Tembo with a Hispanic lens. Teachers with be able use this as it aligns with their curriculum. A great addition to the ever growing amount of diverse books out there. Young children will be able to sing along with the repetition of Pacho Nacho's name. Perfect for ages 5 - 8.

#PachoNacho #NetGalley Very cute retelling of Tikki Tikki Tembo set in Mexico. I enjoyed reading this book and know that my students will get a kick out of it.

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced reading copy.
I loved the illustrations and I loved saying Pacho Nacho’s full name (Pacho-Nacho-Nico-Tico-Melo-Felo-Kiko-Rico) out loud each time I read it.
I felt bad for poor Juan having to say his brother’s full name after running all over town. You could feel Juan’s exasperation as he is trying to explain something very important and time sensitive, and the adults kept making him use his brother’s full name.
All together a fun read!

What happens when mama, papa, los abuelos, las abuelas, los tios, las tias, los primos, and las primas are all involved in naming a newly-born child? His name turns out to be Pacho-Nacho-Nico-Tico-Melo-Felo-Kiko-Rico, of course! But will Pacho-Nacho-Nico-Tico (etc.) always be stuck with that unwieldy name? Read Pacho Nacho to find out!
Thanks to NetGalley for the preview of this book. Looking forward to ordering it for my library in February!

3,5/5. A little story that blend together a funny «adventure» and learning Spanish vocabulary. Well done but not outstanding.
