teeth and claws, can turn them from darling to deadly in seconds.

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

Kind? The answer is: by learning from the animal kingdom! Animals

each other, while at the same time teaching them about the magic
and the beauty of the natural world. They can learn to be welcoming
like capybaras, who let other animals sit on top of them while they
wallow in mud. Or perhaps they might want to be like dolphins, who
guide other species to their destinations. Or maybe they would like
to work together like ants and bees, share what they have like
jackdaws or stick up for their friends like zebras. With beautiful
illustrations from Darla Okada, this beautiful picture book will
enchant and entertain children time and time again. There are facts
at the back about how each animal lives with and looks after its
fellow creatures. This sweet and thoughtful book is both a
celebration of the animal world and a manifesto for being kind in
everyday life.
