From the Publisher
Wendy Wakefield Ferrin and Beverly Ashley Broyles, creators of Germs on their fingers!/¡Gérmenes en tus manos! have once again produced a unique read for children of all ages. It is two books in one. Early attempts to create bilingual books simply created language confusion. The design of this bilingual folktale creates intrigue!
