Te Amo, Sol-Te Amo, Luna/I Love You, Sun-I Love You, Moon
Description
A family favorite since it was first published in 1994, I Love You, Sun/ I Love You, Moon has taught basic concepts to a generation of young children. Now, it can be used to introduce these concepts to Spanish readers. Here, each child connects with what he or she sees in both Spanish and English-pointing at the sol/sun, watering a flor/flower, feeding a carrot to a conejo/bunny-all the while saying Te amo/I love you to each one. Tomie's adorable pictures warmly illustrate each activity, making it easy and fun to learn these simple Spanish and English words. A welcome addition to every toddler's library.Product Details

About the Author
It drove him through the years of teaching, designing greeting cards and stage sets, and painting church murals until 1965, when he illustrated his first children's book, Sound, by Lisa Miller for Coward-McCann. Eventually, freed of other obligations, he plunged full time into both writing and illustrating children's books.
