Description

After the visitors have left the zoo and the animals have settled down for the night, a mischievous monkey starts playing a rhythm on the marimba and awakens the animals. Lions and llamas samba and cougars and coyotes conga as all the animals join in the fun to create a rollicking fiesta. This is a unique alphabet book that also introduces the concept of cognates -- words in different languages that are similar. Young Spanish speakers will be delighted to find they are already familiar with twenty-six words in English, and English speakers with find they already know some Spanish. The book includes an author's note, pronunciation guide, and rebus dictionary. Full-color illustrations.
