[Liz · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a bilingual (English/Spanish) book of original fairy tales that makes an easy way for the late elementary school reader to pick up or practice another language. The stories (and poem) are animal and nature based and are entertaining. There are numerous illustrations scattered throughout that add to the interest.
I won a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway for this honest review.

I love the range of homes & stories collected in this bilingual book. It’s part of an interesting project.

Thank you to Handersen Publishing & Goodreads Giveaways for my copy.

DNF @ 15% - The stories seem very cute, but the formatting makes it very difficult to read.
