Rooster: Gallo (Bilingual English/Spanish)

by Jorge Luján (Author) Manuel Monroy (Illustrator)

Rooster: Gallo (Bilingual English/Spanish)
Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

The song of the rooster draws forth the universe and gives way to the dance of beings and objects as day draws its first brilliant breath. Written in Spanish and English, this book is so supremely simple that a baby can delight in it, and yet so complex that an adult reader can find joy in the poem and beautiful images over and over again. 

El canto del gallo atrae el universo y da paso a la danza de los seres y objetos mientras el día exhala su primer soplo brillante. Escrito en español e inglés, este libro es tan sumamente simple que un bebé puede deleitarse con él y, sin embargo, tan complejo que un lector adulto puede encontrar alegría en el poema y las bellas imágenes una y otra vez.
