Mexican native Marcos Almada Rivero has been fascinated by caricatures and animals since childhood. In his “Oscar” series, his animals come to life as they face struggles and challenges most kids can relate to. I’ve enjoyed every title in the series, and each book has led to a discussion about what we learned from the story. Check 'em out!
