Synopsis

A quick trip to the "supermercado?" Not with Bebe in the shopping cart. Snatching the grocery list and picking out chocolate-covered pickles, he's not being very helpful. Just as Mama is ready to throw up her "manos, "she gives sweet Bebe a box of animal cookies. A "dulce" at last! He finds a camel, nibbles on a giraffe . . . eats an "oso." Then they're off to the checkout line, smiling all the way. Susan Middleton Elya's tender yet feisty story and Steven Salerno's vivid art are perfect for budding English- and Spanish-speaking readers. Includes a glossary of Spanish words.

About this title

Review:

* (starred review) "Introducing a young child to Spanish has never been as attractive in this shopping romp... The text carefully, and delightfully incorporations Spanish words into the rhyming text... Salerno is a master at getting motion into his pictures, and his spreads rumble and tumble, especially when the baby''s animal crackers grow large and alive." --Booklist (February 15, 2006)
