In the Sea, En El Mar

Celebrate the magnificent world of marine life in this bilingual counting book featuring popular ocean creatures-including dolphins, sea stars, and turtles-and an irresistibly rhythmic text with Spanish language woven throughout. What sea creatures could there be? Ven a ver, come and see! Tortugas glide and dolphins leap. What other friends hide in the deep? Diving into a vibrant underwater world, this bilingual picture book uses ocean animals to introduce readers to the concepts of counting and sequencing. The story builds to ten and then back down to one as it reinforces introductory counting. This English/Spanish offering is an interactive celebration of ocean life for young children.

La historia avanza hasta llegar al diez para luego regresar al uno, así reforzando los fundamentos del conteo.
