Description

A cat seeking shelter on a snowy day learns the joys of giving and receiving in this early reader, now in Spanish. A cat seeking shelter on a snowy day learns the joys of giving and receiving in this early reader, now in Spanish. Shivering, Cat jumps into the basement window of a small apartment building. As Cat makes his way up to a top-floor garret, Dog gives Cat a book, Rabbit gives him a plant, Bird gives him a painting, and Elephant gives him a hot drink. Cat is happy! Everyone is happy! Cutaway views of the building with each character cozy in their apartment and constructively occupied--reading, painting, tending plants, and playing a piano--will fascinate new readers. Me gusta leer! provides emerging Spanish language readers with translations of popular I Like to Read books. The award-winning I Like to Read series focuses on books for kindergarten through first grade. Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors--create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!
