Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

We are proud to annouce the first title under the BOPO Bilingual Books series. Children of all ages are captivated by the radiant full page illustrations and diverse animal characters. Parents rave about getting two books in one with each page containing both English and Spanish text.

From the Author

My wife and I are thrilled to present Bopo. By evaluating the bilingual children's book market and finding what we believed to be deficiencies in currently available titles, we developed our publishing company, BOPO Bilingual Books. Our company mission is to help children around the world become familiar with a second language while learning valuable moral lessons.

"BOPO JOINS the CIRCUS/Bopo se une al circo" is a unique children's book. We feature diverse animal characters including Pepe, an energetic bunny who just happens to be physically challenged. We intentionally wanted to show children that those who are physically challenged can lead active lives.

"BOPO JOINS the CIRCUS/Bopo se une al circo" the first title of the BOPO Bilingual Books series. Please be on the look out for more to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great artwork with relatable characters., October 1, 1999

My daughter loves the artwork in this book. She especially likes the female kitten and the bunny in the wheelchair. She reads the English independently and enjoys going flipping through the pretty pictures on her own. My only critic is that, like most children's books, the story is somewhat predictable. However, it does have a great moral lesson that children easily derive on their own.

Que lindo! What a beautiful book. My son loves it. Ever since the debut of bilingual singer Ricky Martin, my son has been interested in learning Spanish (he tries to mimic him). I read the book to my son in English and he reads the Spanish to me. This book also has a nice story and really bright pictures.

My sister gave this book to my daughter as a birthday present last week and my daughter can't seem to put it down. It has beautiful illustrations and a storyline that warms parents' hearts. I especially recommend it if you have ever heard your child say "I want to join the circus". I highly recommend this book.
