Eight Animals on the Town

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Lee Chapman. Eight animals head to market to shop for their supper in this Spanish vocabulary lesson. The rhyming text is spiced with over forty Spanish words, mostly numbers and names of animals and food. ("Cat wants to buy a bottle of milk. / 'Leche,' purrs Gato, as smoothly as silk.") The illustrations, inspired by Mexican folk art, play with the text, adding funny details. A glossary/pronunciation guide is appended.
