El Perro con Sombrero: A Bilingual Doggy Tale (Spanish Edition)

This bilingual doggy tale has everything to fascinate a child and to keep him or her and his parents reading through the pages to find out what happens next. Children and parents will sympathize with poor Pepe, a dog without a family. We are happy for him when his fortunes change for the better, but this is not enough..Pepe needs a family. Fame and fortune are meaningless next to family love. This is a good moral lesson in our age of materialism. There's even room at the end for Pepe's rival, el gatito con zapatos, as he is welcomed into the family. Here is another good moral lesson: life changes, and even our enemies can some day become friends.The languages are placed one after the other, English in black with Spanish underneath in red in short segments, so that readers can refer to both for easy comparison and learning.The pictures themselves are entertaining. Pepe's dog castle has a coat of arms with dogs fighting over a bone. The facial expressions are superb, ranging from the kind-hearted grocer who gives Pepe a bone , the savvy movie director, to the malicious el gatito con zapatos and at last the loving family.I love the book and look forward to reading it to my little granddaughter.Judy Martialay, author of HOLA Let's Learn Spanish.
