Let's Get To Work / Vamos A Trabajar Format: BoardBook

It's never too early to introduce children to a second language. English and Spanish words are shown side by side. The books are filled with vivid illustration and a fun format which makes a game out of learning a new language!

PreSchool-Grade 2–These sturdy board books present various types of construction and transport vehicles. The format is identical: a vehicle is pictured on each spread with its name printed in English on the verso and in Spanish (with the definite article) on the recto. At both the midpoint and end of each title, young viewers are presented with scenes and asked to identify the pictured vehicles. The attractive, clean format and bright, clear illustrations have great child appeal, putting these books right on target for preschoolers and ESL students. While the subject matter is generally more appealing to boys, girls, too, will find themselves included among the multiethnic drivers and operators pictured. This is a perfect lead-in to Richard Scarry's venerable Cars and Trucks and Things That Go (Golden, 1998).
