El Jaguar

Meet the largest cat of the Americas! Introduce elementary readers to the fearsome jaguar and its life in the wild in this North American Spanish translation. As "beasts that kill with one leap," it easy to see why jaguars are the top predators of the rainforest. Readers explore this big cat's features, behaviors, and habitats with STEM-appropriate text and gorgeous photography. An end folk tale shares a story from South Africa about the jaguar's markings. A great nonfiction resource for Spanish-language learning and bilingual readers. Includes table of contents, index, same-page definitions, and further resources.
