Porque Te Amo Mucho - by Guido Van Genechten (Board Book)

About the Book

"Copito the polar bear already knows a lot: where the delicious fish swim, what a snowflake tastes like, that the wind can hug and also bite, and when the sun and moon are in the sky. He also knows how far you can get away from mom and still be safe. Of course, there are things Copito still doesn't fully understand, but he knows the answer to the most important question."--

Book Synopsis

"An appealing addition to Spanish board book collections, and a great choice for fans of Emma Dodd." -- School Library Journal

Copito, el osito polar, ya sabe mucho: dónde nadan los deliciosos peces, a qué sabe un copito de nieve, que el viento puede abrazar y también morder, y cuándo el sol y la luna están en el cielo. También sabe cuánto se puede alejar de mamá y aún estar a salvo. Por supuesto, hay cosas que Copito aún no comprende del todo, pero sabe la respuesta a la pregunta más importante . . .

Una conmovedora historia de un osito polar, sobre el amor y la cariño, para todas las edades.

Review Quotes

"Copito the little polar bear may be young, but he already knows so much about the world. He knows where to find the best fish and that the cold can really bite, but that his mother's hugs make everything nice and warm. He knows that he needs to stay near his mother just in case the ice starts to break. But there are some things that Copito doesn't know. What makes snow? And why do polar bears have white fur and black skin? But Copito's mother knows, and she knows something much more important--how much Copito is loved. This Spanish board book shares the daily lives of a little polar bear and his mother as Copito learns many things. The majestic blue and white palette presents Copito's snowy world, and the Spanish text lovingly shares what Copito is learning--while making sweet commentary about Copito's heartwarming relationship with his mother. A tender story proving that no matter what, Copito's mother's love for her little one is certain. VERDICT An appealing addition to Spanish board book collections, and a great choice for fans of Emma Dodd." -- School Library Journal
