The Park Our Town Built

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tanja Bauerle. Using a "House That Jack Built" structure, Bertrand describes how a town comes together to build a park. In the bilingual version, the building materials are first introduced in English then later repeated in Spanish. The conceit works well; a vocabulary page is appended in the bilingual edition. Stiff illustrations accompany the texts. Review covers these titles: The Park Our Town Built and The Park Our Town Built / El parque que nuestro pueblo construyó.
