Eight Animals on the Town |
My first book is a rhyming ditty in English, which happens to introduce 70 Spanish words in a funny way. I am very proud of this one. It is published by Lee & Low, the award-winning multicultural publisher. |
My second book contains more silly rhymes, introducing 70 more words. Although there is no specific theme to the book, I chose common words that any student of Spanish would like to know. Lee & Low, publisher |
The third book in the series takes the reader to the circus to learn 70 more Spanish words that one might encounter at a circus - Lion, giraffe, elephant, seal, monkey, clown, hot dog, trapeze, etc. While leaving the circus, the family encounters a rainstorm and a rainbow. Lee & Low, publisher. |
Eight Animals on the Town is published by G.P. Putnam's Sons. It also rhymes, with 30 Spanish words sprinkled throughout the story of eight animals on their way to the market. Each animal buys something to eat. The mouse buys cheese, the cat buys milk, etc. After they shop, they eat supper and head downtown to the dance. Then they drive home in two cars. The ethnic art is very comical. Wait until you see the horse! |
