The Alphabet / El alfabeto

Teach children letter recognition and the alphabet with the use of cognates (words that look similar across languages). Research has proven that cognates are among the best tools for introducing two languages simultaneously to children. The pages are bursting with delightful illustrations of toys and musical instruments, as well as ñandús, queztals, and other exotic creatures native to South and Central America-all in bright and cheerful colors. Learning the alphabet has never been this fun! Written by Gladys Rosa-Mendoza, edited by Carolina Cifuentes, and illustrated by Michele Noiset. Winner of the Chicago Book Clinic Book and Media Show Award of Excellence.

This small book is durable and easy for young children to handle.
