Eight animales, ready to play, head for the parque-the park-for the day. The trouble is, each animal friend wants to play something different. Cat-Gato-brings her bat and a rousing game of baseball-b?isbol-seems like the best idea, but it doesn't take long for trouble to strike. When Horse pops out and gets grumpy and the chatter in the infield turns mean, the game goes sour. But then it starts to rain and bad feelings are forgotten as the friends work together to keep their gear and each other dry (except Frog-Rana-of course!). With easy Spanish vocabulary seamlessly intertwined with English, and vibrant, energetic illustrations, this offers fun for non-Spanish speakers as well as Spanish speakers learning English.
My kids love these spanish books and begin to say the words allowed as I read it to them. Now my son is reading himself and knows the pronunciations better than if I had not read it to him for a while first. Very effective.
Another hit for Lee Chapman!

What a wonderful book! Another in the series of "Middleton Elya/Chapman" eight animal capers. This cute story introduces Spanish vocabulary in a way that the readers won't even know they are learning!! The book is illustrated by reknown Puerta Vallarta artist Lee Chapman. Chapman's whimsical style brings smiles to every page.
