(4) K-3 Colección Luz Verde series. As Big Brown Bear tries to paint his tree house, he gets knocked off his ladder not once but twice by a little bear. The rhyming English-language text creates humor with statements that require the illustrations for full comprehension ("Bear was up. Bear comes down"). Unfortunately, the Spanish translation can't replicate the simple rhymes that make the English work so well.
