Lift the flaps to read more! Happy birthday to you!įeelings: Bilingual Firsts by Susie Jaramillo “ Estas son las mañanitas que cantaba el rey David.” or “ Today’s the day and it’s the morning, you get treated like a king.” The Canticos chicks dress up as mariachis to sing to their bunny friend through the window then they all try to break the piñata. Unfold the pages to read one birthday song entirely in English y da la vuelta a leer el otro lado completamente en español. The Birthday Book / Las mañanitasby Susie Jaramillo Honestly, I never knew some of the names for these patterns before reading this book! What shape and pattern will be your favorites? Hexagons make a honeycomb pattern (un patrón de panal). See what a square is (un cuadrado) then turn the page to see lots of squares that make a checkered pattern. I love how this book scaffolds the information with first the basic shape and then the shape in a pattern. You’ll find the bunnies, chicks, elephants, arañas, pájaros, ranas, y mucho más. Count in English and Spanish 1 to ten then by tens up to fifty. Read in English (One sun) then lift the flap to read it in Spanish (Un sol). You’ll read loud (ruidoso) with quiet (silencioso) and sad (triste) with happy (feliz) along with many more.

The adorable Canticos baby animals illustrate these opposite pairs. When all the birds have flown away, they’ll come back for you to count starting with one until you count to ten. Starting with ten birds on a roof, subtract two each time a cat tries to get them and figure out how many are left afterward. I really love the Spanish version of this book (song) as it’s super lyrical and fun to read out loud. Ten Little Birds Diez Pajaritos by 123 Andres, illustrated by Sara Palacios
