About this eBook

La popular serie Good Beginnings de Houghton Mifflin Harcourt en ediciones de cartón presenta dos títulos nuevos en 2004, cada uno publicado solo en inglés y en ediciones bilingües español-inglés. Continuando con el cautivador formato en serie, estos libros encantadores contestan la pregunta en sus títulos con palabras que han sido seleccionadas de los diccionarios American Heritage® por su familiaridad y para las edades apropiadas. Y como en el libro previo, los animales irresistibles de Pamela Zagarenski le dan vida a las palabras en ilustraciones a todo color. En ¿Qué día es? los días de la semana están retratados por una encantadora familia de conejos que participa en actividades como ir de compras al mercado o comer afuera. En atrapantes historias y retratos fantásticos, estos libros introducen la gramática básica en inglés y español hasta para los niños más pequeños.
