A bilingual ABCs book that fills you in on all the fun neighborhood chatter!

Un libro bilingüe del abecedario que te pone al corriente del chisme divertido del vecindario!

There's always a lot of action in the neighborhood where Mr. Lozano lives: Amelia argues with Anita; Benito loves bean burritos but not bumblebees; Chuy, Toño, Lluvia just arrived from Chihuahua; and Zacarias is catching some Zs on Zachary Street. José Lozano's wacky little stories and illustrations combine Mexican culture with the neighborhood charm of Sesame Street to make for a wonderful read-aloud ABC book in Spanish and English.

Las historias e ilustraciones imaginativas de José Lozano combinan la cultura mexicana con el encanto vecinal de Sesame Street para crear un maravilloso libro del abecedario para leerle a niños y niñas en español e inglés.

      PreS-Gr 2-A Mexican-American neighborhood, its residents, and daily routines are brought to life in this alphabetical story that begins with Amelia and her sister Anita and ends with Zacarías and his crazy dog Zapper the Yapper. Humorous, double-page text and vivid colors make this an ideal ABC book. The narration in English and Spanish carry the same tone and story line. Lozanos illustrations exude a Mexican feel and depict a vibrant and modern Hispanic community. Great for reading aloud, this book is a solid choice for building basic vocabulary skills."Eric Gómez, Broward County African-American Research Library and Cultural Center, Fort Lauderdale, FL"

      Alliterative paragraphs take readers through the alphabet, with each letter representing the name of a person and his or her characteristics. The idea is nice in theory, but there's way too much text for the concept book audience and the Spanish translation struggles to match the alliteration of the English. Lozano's illustrations are framed with photo corners to resemble a scrapbook.
