Author Description

Who is Magali the Marmot? ¡Muy buena pregunta!Magali is an ordinary French marmot. But her mountain mates? The Dudes? They're funny, competitive, and they drag her into all sorts of sporty adventures... Let's get bilingual and encourage a love of reading. ¡Vámonos! The book reads in English on the left page, Spanish on the right. ¡Sí señora! Inglés en la página izquierda, español en la derecha. For kids comfortable reading longer books. Ages 8 yrs +. Suitable for teen/adult language learners, too. Playful characters with funny dialogue. An opportunity for you and your child/teenager to read and laugh side by side;) Magali is going to go further from home than she's ever been before. She's going to cross the French border into Italy to compete in a rock-climbing event! The problem is: marmots don't rock climb. Neither do boar, deer, foxes, weasels, hare, and hedgehogs, and that isn't stopping them. But, how exactly will they climb? Bruno The Italian Stag explains it well. 'It's Italy. There are no rules. You get up the rock any way you can.' Magali and her friends (Mishka, Henri Le Hare, F-F-Foxy, Little Foxy, Puppy Bébé and Chamois Luc) need to come up with a genius plan. So, what is their plan? They choose Magali to scale the wall and win the competition for the team. But, why her? She's the fattest one out of them! * * * * * With 8 books in the series, your child can choose the adventure they most like!
