Amigos en cuerpo y alma

Summary: nice little book
Review: I read this book, in Spanish, to my Dual Immersion kindergarten class and they were very interested. Young children respond well to the simple illustrations, which support the text very well. One of my students said, "When you go for a walk in the forest, you shouldn't take an animal out of its home." He understands very little Spanish, so he must have figured out what was going on from the illustrations. I recommend this book for ages 0-6.

Summary: Sweet Friendship, Diversity, Acceptance
Review: What an adorable and imaginative story. An animal wishing for a pet finds what he thinks is a puppy...but it turns out to be far from a dog. They become the best of pals forever. Colorful pictures, too.
