This book is full of monos, ratons, and osos. What’s that, you say? You don’t know what a mono is? What about a rio, some pelo, or even an árbol? No? Still no idea? You should read this libro, then. By the time you finish, you’ll be able to recognize and understand more than fifty simple Spanish words. You’ll be saying, Mas, por favor!” You may even ask your papá to buy you a gato or pato. (But not your papa. Potatoes can’t buy pets.)
Jay M. Harris somehow ended up with a tongue and heart that are pure Spanish. He loves the Spanish language and says he couldn't survive without Mexican food-the more caliente, the better. He lives with his wife in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
