Nancy Maria Grande Tabor (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

Age Level: 2 and up | Series: Bilingual Books

This bilingual counting book is a fun-filled encounter with a zany host of animals--10 dragons on parade, 11 oysters at the opera, and 18 dalmations showing off their diamonds. As they count, readers will enjoy answering the questions relating to the colorful cut-paper pictures while they review concepts such as colors, size, and shape.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"There is much more here than learning numbers. Each page, with a separate column of text in English and Spanish, asks the reader short questions about the picture. The format develops math and language skills and is informative and fun." -- The Young Reader, Boston Globe, Summer 1994 --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.

This review is from: Cincuenta en la cebra: contando con los animales / Fifty on the Zebra: Counting with the Animals (Bilingual Books) (Paperback)

This is a really fun book, great for kids of all ages, whether they know a little Spanish or a lot. The questions and answers (in both English and Spanish) are interesting. This book has more than just pictures and numbers . Children are asked to count various items on each page. My 12-year-old liked to read the sentences aloud in Spanish, and even though she knew very few Spanish words, it was easy to get the meaning from the pictures. We read two to four pages at a time each day, until we finished the book.
