Synopsis
A skillful mix of English and Spanish adds a special flair to this lively, rhythmic picture book. It's non-stop fun when eight animal friends-ocho animales-head out to the market to find their supper. There's queso for the mouse, leche for the cat, and much more. And when all of the animals are fed, it's off to the baile to dance the night away! Brought to life with Lee Chapman's bold illustrations, this is a great way to introduce young readers to a new language, as well as a great tool to help Spanish-speakers learn English.
"An engaging choice for early readers." (Booklist)

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 4-A rhyming romp that introduces readers to numbers and vocabulary in Spanish. Eight animals each go to the market and purchase critter-appropriate supper supplies. "First comes a mouse. He's a rat-n./N#mero uno, out on his own./Off to the market he hurries for cheese./'Since I'm a rat-n, I'd like queso, please.'" Together the animals enjoy their evening repast, go dancing, and then drive home. A glossary and pronunciation guide is provided for readers unfamiliar with the language. While the text has wit and whimsy, the illustrations are absolutely delectable. Bright oils on canvas capture qualities of Mexican folk art as tidy borders augment the text. Illustrative details are sure to tickle observant youngsters (the bird's high-tops, numbers and words tucked into the art, additional vocabulary here and there). It is not easy to blast a concept book out of the didactic, but this collaborative team has created a book that is more fun than function, with the learning deftly layered throughout. A rewarding choice for reading aloud or for poring over the pictures.
