Written by Raúl the Third

Published by Versify
Honk! Honk! Beep! Beep! Little Lobo and his friends are trying to cross the bridge for a big celebration on the other side. But there’s a traffic jam on the bridge—everyone has places to be, jobs to go to, people to meet!
Will Little Lobo ever get across? When a band starts playing and food trucks open their doors, he and his friends may still get their celebration and learn some English along the way!
Bilingual in a new way, this colorful Spanish adventure teaches readers simple words in English as they travel across the border with Little Lobo and all his pals.
También disponible en Español, ¡Vamos! Vamos a Cruzar el Puente.
