Sam the Ant - Glow in the Dark: Brillando En La Oscuridad

Sam the Ant - Glow in the Dark: Brillando En La Oscuridad

By Enrique C Feldman,Sam Sierra Feldman Children

Danny Says

This is what I call a "golden book," as it is written in English and Spanish. I love to recommend books like this to students, as many ESL parents are able to read the story aloud in Spanish (and, I believe, reading the English version actually improves their English). For my own children, we get a kick out of reading the story aloud first in English before reading it again in Spanish. Feldman always provides solid stories that teach values in an intriguing manner.

Play Ball, Jackie! (Single Titles)

By Stephen Krensky 32 pages Children

Danny Says

I am thrilled that the start of baseball season is here. A devoted Dodger fan (torn by the recent sale of my beloved Dodgers, as I wish their corrupt owner Frank McCourt would walk away with nothing), I am always excited about a good Jackie Robinson picture book. Another great addition to illustrate to students how Jackie Robinson changed sports – and America – forever.
