INTERCAMBIO MAGICO. This item is unavailable.INTERCAMBIO MAGICO

Con su imaginación Sara dota a los niños de poderes mágicos que parecen funcionar muy bien para que los otros se diviertan, mientras ella continúa aburrida y sin darse cuenta de lo que puede crear. Todo cambia cuando alguien le hace un regalo, ¿qué será ese regalo especial que acaba con el aburrimiento?

PreSchool-Grade 1–Sara is bored, and all she has to play with is a measly piece of chalk. She talks Alex into trading his marbles for her chalk with the promise that anything he draws with it will come to life. As Sara leaves to play with her new marbles, readers see Alex riding along on top of his newly drawn magic dragon. When Sara discovers that she is not very good at shooting marbles, she bamboozles Sam into trading her lollipop for the marbles by describing them as perlas del inmenso mar, and children see that Sam has been transformed into a mermaid enchanting the sea creatures with her beautiful new acquisitions. Sara continues to trade up–the lollipop for a yo-yo, the yo-yo for a toy flute. The full-page illustrations are drawn in ink with washes of mostly muted shades of oranges, yellows, browns, and blues. Readers will enjoy discovering tiny details in the art. The Spanish text flows nicely and most of the words are easy to read aloud. Possible confusion may rise from the use of the word £avioncito¥ for £hopscotch¥ because it usually refers to a toy airplane. Although the book originated in Europe, the Spanish translation was published in Mexico, where the popular playground game is called avioncito.–Rebecca Hickman, Sherman Library at NSU, Fort Lauderdale, FL
