"Mudworks Bilingual provides a unique opportunity for children, parents and grandparents to read and create art together without language barriers, bringing familia closer together. I highly recommend it."
- Edward James Olmos, actor

The old classic Mudworks is now available in a bilingual edition... Spanish project on the left page, same English project on the right page. Like a butterfly, mirror image. I imagine this art book of clays and doughs breaking through the barriers of language. Afterall, art is a language we ALL speak. I imagine a Spanish speaking gramma and her little English speaking grandchild making playdough together in the kitchen, each reading their own language recipes. I see kids in bilingual classrooms using the translations to check themselves on their command of whatever language is their second language, I dream of Spanish immersion classes using this book to enhance their learning, I hope for mommies and daddies who are speaking English as a second language using this book to help them get through making clays, doughs, and modeling recipes with their kids. And for ME, I just like seeing if I can use the Spanish recipe and make stuff! (with the English back up)

Easy, 160 pages, no expertise necessary.

The book Mudworks has been re-released as a bilingual edition, with the left page Spanish and the facing right page English. It's fun to look back and forth from page to page and enjoy the translation. Very helpful when people working together may not be proficient in one language. Helps those people share and communicate. the book has been a big hit with libraries, daycares, and childcare programs in particular.
