El Libro De Las Arenas Movedizas by Tomie de Paola

Socorro! Such a big word for "help" in Spanish is what the jungle girl is shouting as her rope snaps and she lands in quicksand. Enter a jungle boy, who is ready to explain all the safety rules. This will be a great read-aloud for story time, and children will enjoy the turn of events when the young lad accidentally slips and falls...into the quicksand. This fine translation of a funny and informative book will be a welcome addition to Spanish collections.

Cuenta los insectos (Spanish Books) by Jerry Palotta    
(Math)    
Charlesbridge
Kindergarten-Grade 2; 32 pages
This counting book starts with zero, so on the first page, there are no insects. Each subsequent page shows a different creature in the quantity identified, such as five butterflies. Each number appears at the top of the page with the Spanish word, such as cinco for five, alongside. The insects are part of a larger illustration on any given page, so children will have to find the bugs amidst the leaves or branches of the trees. This will be good to use with small groups of youngsters as they count and point at the same time. Full-color illustrations work their way around the engaging text.
