K-Gr 2—This engaging Spanish series invites early readers to explore and identify patterns, textures, and visual elements in nature. Each book encourages hands-on interaction, fostering a deeper connection between the reader and the content: in the book about leaves, readers are prompted to look more closely at leaves that they might find in their own backyards or while on a longer adventure, offering a fun and educational challenge. Young readers can further immerse themselves in the natural world by using a secure online search engine to explore age-appropriate, relevant websites about forest animals and their tracks. The series also provides valuable tools for educators and parents, including reading tips, labeled photographs, an image glossary, a table of contents, and an index, making it an excellent resource for developing early literacy and observation skills. VERDICT This series teaches children how to identify the beauty of nature, features great translations, and sparks curiosity and interactive learning.
