EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
It snowed where Gabo lives, but he doesn't have the right clothes or a sled to go out and play, so Mami helps him put plastic bags over his sneakers, and he wears his Papi's hat. Now, to find a sled! But he's too shy to join in the fun with the other kids, so thank goodness a neighbor's granddaughter reaches out with some good ideas. Maybe Gabo gets to sled after all!
I also reviewed the English edition and found the Spanish edition to be just as well done. The translation is spot on - I showed this to a native speaker at my school and she said it would be a great side-by-side read for either the Spanish or English learners. The English version has Spanish words and phrases sprinkled throughout, but the Spanish version is entirely in Spanish.
