Overview

In this bilingual (Spanish/English) very early reader, Little Lalo receives inspiration from the famous Mexican loteria game. Since Lalo is the King of Things, and three years old besides, he plays the cards and counts as his possessions the sun, the moon, a lion, a fish, a clown, a train, the crown on his head. Each card in Lalo's kingdom has its own page, illustrated with a playful, brightly colored woodcut, with the opposing page describing the scene in Spanish and English.

A wonderful and fun-filled introduction to the connections between two languages and cultures especially for the very young.

<br><br> A wonderful and fun-filled introduction to the connections between two languages and cultures especially for the very young. --Midwest Book Review, starred review<br><br> Young children, even those who have never encountered the game, will be fascinated by the pictures, and even adults may be taken in by the quality of the artwork, which is indeed impressive. An interesting purchase for bookstores, this is an excellent lap book. --Criticas<br><br> RECOMMENDED!...This bilingual reader will appeal to children who are just learning to read. --Tucson Citizen, starred review<br><br> The book comes across as very nicely packaged flash cards. Still, its edgy whimsy would make it a nice addition in a gift basket for out-of-town friends and family, as it is as much a taste of our border region as salsa. --El Paso Scene<br><br> This print-sized book, beautifully illustrated with vivid images and colors, is a perfect introduction to English or Spanish...It's a breeze to read and a beautiful first step in raising a bilingual child in this bilingual Border town. --El Paso Inside & Out<br><br>
