K-3Colección Luz Verde series.
Illustrated by
G. Brian Karas.
In this very simple story, Daniel takes care of his pet, a baby chick. Warm illustrations show the dedicated boy and his growing pet ("Daniel fed Jen every day. Jen got very big"). The Spanish translation is fairly accurate, though there are a few omissions from the English and a wrong word in the second appended activity.
