Summary
With words in both English and Spanish, a brightly illustrated counting book tells of one determined Grandma who is not willing to leave her family on her birthday and so sets out doing various tasks, like making two pots of tea and three pounds of corn for the tortillas, in order to delay Se$or Calavera's request to go with him.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In this original trickster tale, Senor Calavera arrives unexpectedly at Grandma Beetle's door. He requests that she leave with him right away. "Just a minute," Grandma Beetle tells him. She still has one house to sweep, two pots of tea to boil, three pounds of corn to make into tortillas -- and that's just the start! Using both Spanish and English words to tally the party preparations, Grandma Beetle cleverly delays her trip and spends her birthday with a table full of grandchildren and her surprise guest. This spirited tribute to the rich traditions of Mexican culture is the perfect introduction to counting in both English and Spanish. The vivacious illustrations and universal depiction of a family celebration are sure to be adored by young readers everywhere.
