!Pintalo!

Description

Now in Spanish! Two friends get creative in this funny easy reader about working together. Horse is all set to paint a mural his way, oblivious to Buggy's suggestions that a bit of planning might be a good idea. But after Horse knocks over paint cans and sends brushes flying, he relents and accepts some help from his friend. Now translated into Spanish, the hilarious antics, easy-to-read text, and colorful cartoon illustrations will put smiles on the faces of new readers. Me gusta leer! provides emerging Spanish language readers with translations of popular I Like to Read books. The award-winning I Like to Read 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!

"A wonderful addition to the !Me gusta leer! line of beginning readers. Using only speech-bubble dialogue, the book's simple Spanish text is appropriate for any intermediate Spanish speaker and reader. . . . A funny, effective way to teach children when to ask for help and how taking the time to make a plan can make a big task much more feasible."-Booklist "A colorful and humorous early reader book to introduce the concept of preparation when engaging in a project."-School Library Journal
