A Treasury of Curious George/Coleccion de Oro Jorge el Curioso by Margret and H.A. Rey - OPTIONAL

Rey, Margret and H.A.  A Treasury of Curious George/Coleccion de Oro Jorge el Curioso, illustrated in the style of H.A. Rey by Vipah Interactive and Martha Weston, translated by Carlos E. Calvo.  Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2011. $11.99.  PICTURE BOOK.  This books tells eight different stories of Curious George.  It has the English words in black font on each page and then the Spanish translation is directly underneath it,written in blue.  I used to speak Spanish fluently, and I have lost a lot.  But I still know enough to know that the translation is good.  I have seen books like this benefit students who are learning either of the two languages.  But there are so many things out there to spend money on, I wouldn't say that this is a must-have or even a should-have.  What is good about this book is that there are eight stories and lots of pages of English and Spanish.  It is probably worth the money, but only if there is a need for someone to learn the two languages.  Pre-K, EL (K-3), EL - OPTIONAL.  Brent Smith, Reading Teacher
