(2) PS Illustrated by Julie Vivas. In this bilingual edition of I Went Walking, the simple, repetitive text and bold illustrations make this guessing-game concept book (a child goes for a walk and collects a procession of colorful animals) work perfectly in a lap-size board book format. The text finds its own natural rhythm in Spanish. An excellent choice for early literacy efforts with Spanish-speaking toddlers.
