Reglas en la biblioteca (Rules at the Library)

November 1, 2019

PreS-Gr 2-Children who are preparing to enter school and their caregivers will benefit from this bilingual series that focuses on social skills development and following rules in different school environments, including the bus, the playground, the classroom, and the library. Each page presents Spanish words followed by the English equivalent, a subtle way of appealing to an early English language learner. Plenty of space around words and simple statements make this an accessible option for the beginning reader. A bilingual index is included, as well as a glossary that reviews words that have been highlighted throughout the text, bolstering comprehension. Illustrations are playful and colorful, reinforcing positive interactions between characters, with racial, ethnic, and ability diversity represented. VERDICT This basic series is ideal for preschools and childcare centers, as well as school and public library collections.
