About this product
Por/by René Colato Laínez, Nomar Perez
Joe speaks English. He loves soccer. José habla español. A José le gusta el fútbol. This English-Spanish bilingual story is now available as a board book!
Hola, Joe. / Hi, José.
I have my uniform. /Tengo mi uniforme.
I am ready. / Estoy listo.
Two boys, an English speaker and a Spanish speaker, are on the same soccer team. They have their uniforms and their cleats. They can both juggle the ball. And when the coach lets them in the game, both Joe and José score goals. "We win," says Joe. "Ganamos," says José.
A delightful reading experience, this book is perfect for toddlers in bilingual families.
René Colato Laínez, a teacher in a bilingual kindergarten classroom, has crafted an ingenious story that authentically and naturally uses conversation to introduce children to English and Spanish. The fun friendship story engages children, while simple words, short sentences, and a glossary reinforce learning.
