I am learning spanish (at my own pace). It's good to have the words in english on the other page. The book does not directly translate, but it does well to give you the proper words for communicating the feeling.

Un clásico de lectura obligatoria para mí peque. Le ha gustado, pero le pongo 3 ⭐ por qué calificó según lo que él ha disfrutado de la lectura y las lustraciones.

Cute rendition of the original story. Not only does the story have a great message but I love that it is told in english and spanish. I would use this with my ELLs and other students in the beginning of school to make them aware that we do not bully our classmates and that being mean to others is wrong. This book will help with the morality of the classroom and remind my students how we treat others.

Gran libro que demuestra el nunca rendirse y el saber de tus capacidades y no dejarte llevar por la opinión de la gente
