A bilingual ABCs book that fills you in on all the fun neighborhood chatter!
Un libro bilingüe del abecedario que te pone al corriente del chisme divertido del vecindario!
There’s always a lot of action in the neighborhood where Mr. Lozano lives: Amelia argues with Anita; Benito loves bean burritos but not bumblebees; Chuy, Toño, Lluvia just arrived from Chihuahua; and Zacarias is catching some Zs on Zachary Street. José Lozano’s wacky little stories and illustrations combine Mexican culture with the neighborhood charm of Sesame Street to make for a wonderful read-aloud ABC book in Spanish and English.
Siempre hay mucha acción en el vecindario del señor Lozano—Amelia alegua con Anita; Benito ama los burritos de frijoles; Chuy, Toño y Lluvia acaban de llegar de Chihuahua; y Zacarías duerme en la calle Zachary. Las historias e ilustraciones imaginativas de José Lozano combinan la cultura mexicana con el encanto vecinal de Sesame Street para crear un maravilloso libro del abecedario para leerle a niños y niñas en español e inglés.
