Book ListsZinger's Booklist for Best of 2006 Babies & Toddlers
(Page 1 of 1 pages)
Book cover Counting Ovejas
Sarah Weeks (2006) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by David Diaz
Audience: Toddlers, Preschool
Category: Humor, Multicultural, Read Aloud
(This book has outstanding illustrations)


Beautiful illustrations by Caldecott award winner, David Diaz, complement the simple text of Counting Ovejas. The text is in both Spanish and English, with a pronunciation guide on every page for the Spanish words. The repetition of the text and the illustrations make this book a great way to learn the colors and numbers in Spanish or English.

(This book has outstanding illustrations)


What one thing can bring the greatest amount of joy and the greatest amount of sorrow in the shortest amount of time? If you're a little one, the answer has to be "a balloon." Emily's Balloon traces the adventures of a toddler and her balloon, beautifully written in a way that will capture even the very youngest child.

Most children's books aren't really written for kids. This one is. An extraordinary text with lovely illustrations.
