Author Description

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® books. The award-winning I Like to Read® 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!
