Silly Milly y la Sorpresa de Cumpleaños (Silly Milly and the Birthday Surprise)

"Twins Camila and Carlos find a postcard in their mailbox from a girl in Japan, and they set off on a magical adventure to see her country"--

Elements of magical realism turn a grandmother/grandson day of fishing into an extraordinary experience. When this duo casts out their lines, they catch some fish and a snapping turtle. But with a little time and patience, they catch all sorts of unexpected things in Magic Lake--rollerblades, fuzzy slippers, a fire-breathing dragon, and a ferry that takes them to faraway places. The young boy learns that life is an adventure filled with the magic of possibility.

After getting a postcard from their friend Jack in Australia, twins Carlos and Camila magically travel to visit their new friend and his country. Includes a page for caregivers and teachers that suggests guiding questions to help aid in reading comprehension.

El protagonista de esta historia tiene una mascota nada común: un mastodonte. Como todos los mastodontes, el suyo es enorme y feroz, y además muy rebelde. Cada vez que le pide algo, Mastodonte le responde "¡No!". Pero cuando su amo grita a todo pulmón: "¡Más te vale, Mastodonte!", las cosas cambian y se complican... Y es que no hay nada más difícil en el mundo que domesticar a un mastodonte, aunque también tiene su recompensa.

Each of these humorous books features a young boy or girl who feels bored, lonely, worried, or unfairly treated. Each child discusses the way he or she reacts to these emotions and comes up with ideas to overcome them. Knowing that other children-and even adults, as the stories point out-share these feelings is a great comfort for kids. Text copyright 2004 Lectorum Publications, Inc.
