Brincar - Paperback

by David McPhail (Author)

This funny story with charming illustrations--about friendship, animals, and jumping!--is now available in Spanish!

A bug, a cow (over the moon, of course) . . . even a hippo can jump.

Kids and animals leap into the air in this sweet, simple book by beloved children's author-illustrator David McPhail, now translated into Spanish. Cozy watercolor illustrations depict the very basic Spanish text, helping beginning readers learn new Spanish vocabulary. Uncluttered text keeps the same basic pattern on each spread, so new readers can focus on learning Spanish conjugation patterns.

Me gusta leer! provides emerging Spanish language readers with translations of popular I Like to Read(R) books. The award-winning I Like to Read(R) series focuses on books for kindergarten through first grade. Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors--create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!
