Nurtured and Nuzzled is a richly illustrated exploration of the animal world that promotes attachment and vocabulary in two languages. As a science educator, I appreciate the variety of animal species depicted with accurate, yet artistically vivid, detail. As a teacher of bilingual, early learners in Mexico, I appreciate the rhythmic and direct bilingual text that will ensure the students are actively reading. The kids will enjoy reading this engaging book over and over again. The comprehensive Teacher s Guide contains engaging, thought-provoking, and age-appropriate activities, along with a whole stable of beautiful animal photo flashcards and worksheets. --Brian Lax, American School Foundation of Chiapas, Tuxla-Gutierrez, Mexico
