This is a non-fiction book like no other, because it is a flip book
in two languages. Children can read THE CLOWNFISH in English or
flip the book over to enjoy EL PEZ PAYASO in Spanish. Children will
no longer be confused by having both translations on the same page.
Tina Liccioni has over 10 years of experience teaching regular
education, English as a Second Language, and Bilingual children at
the elementary level. She believes children prefer non-fiction
books with vibrant, real photographs, like the ones in this book.
After researching, she found that there is not a big selection of
non-fiction books to choose from for young readers, and even fewer
that are bilingual. THE CLOWNFISH/EL PEZ PAYASO has simple
sentences for beginning readers, ages 4-8. Since it is factual,
even older children can learn about the clownfish's colorful
appearance, habitat, eggs, diet and size. This book is highly
recommended for teachers, librarians, and parents. Share it with
chldren so that they may develop a love for reading at an early age
and become stronger in two languages. Este es un libro como ning

alligator, named Fred. Complete with an activity, this fast paced
