Me Gusta Mi Bici - (¡me Gusta Leer!) by Ag Ferrari (Paperback)

About the Book

"Illustrations and easy-to-read text show the advantages of being on a bicycle when streets are jammed with other vehicles"--]cProvided by publisher.

Book Synopsis

Now in Spanish! A girl goes on a not-quite-ordinary bike ride.

The humorous text, now in Spanish, is simple and repetitive; just right for new readers. But the pictures are wacky and imaginative. A sea lion chauffeurs a large shark, while a cactus drives a canvas-covered pickup truck, and a tiny mouse drives a tractor-trailer filled with cheese. All vehicles get stuck in traffic except for the bicycling girl, who merrily rides along to her destination: a birthday party.

¡Me gusta leer! provides emerging Spanish language readers with translations of popular I Like to Read(R) books. The award-winning I Like to Read(R) series focuses on books for kindergarten through first grade. Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors--create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!
