Cynthia Weill’s Enchanting Bilingual Board Book Collection
Cynthia Weill’s Enchanting Bilingual Board Book Collection
A new collection of board books, based on the popular First Concepts in Mexican Folk Art series. In Spanish & English for children 3 and older.
All five of Cynthia’s bilingual series First Concepts in Mexican Folk Art are now board books! Each book features different kinds of alebrijes―brightly colored Mexican folk art sculptures of wood, clay and paper mache. The figures depict magically real animals and people created by some of the greatest folk artisans in the world. And each book teaches a different concept for very young learners―ABCs, opposites, colors, counting and animals talking—in English and Spanish!
The set includes:
