PS
Translated by Gerardo Gambolini.
In this Spanish edition of The Treasure Chest, a group of animals imagines what could be in a chest that Squirrel dug up. The story is slight, but the translation manages to capture the rhythm of the original text, and the vocabulary will be understood by the intended audience. Appealing illustrations enhance this title.

Translated by Rosemary Lanning.
Wondering what's in the treasure chest Squirrel found, the forest animals worry that gold and silver will make Squirrel become greedy. But Squirrel takes the "treasures" he found (seeds, nuts, and honey) and bakes a cake for his real treasures--his friends. The uninspired text is buoyed by the richly colored cartoon-style art that keeps the focus on the characters.
