Animales Al Natural un Zoológico Portátil

Correlated to the science curriculum, our Spanish-language series describes how the types of homes that different animals build reflect adaptations to their environments. Through simple, easy-to-follow text, each volume looks at each type of home as a shelter from predators and weather and a place to store food and raise young. Young readers also learn how animal homes and human homes fulfill similar needs and functions.

Many different indigenous groups flourished in that region before the Conquistadors arrived. What we know about their lives and customs is the result of archeological discoveries and the chronicles of the first Spanish priests and soldiers that had contact with them.
