Azul el sombrero, verde el sombrero (Blue Hat, Green Hat -- Spanish version)
Libros Para Ninos, 2003
ay carumba!
Even though the translation from english to spanish isn't the best this book is more enjoyable than the english version. My daughter laughs and laughs each time we read 'ay carumba'. She doesn't seem nearly as enchanted with the english version.
I'll read her ...

Ali and Nino: A Love Story
Kurban Said
Anchor, 2000
Great story!
After reading "The Orientalist" I just had to follow up with Ali and Nino. I have to agree, it's a masterpiece. It's an epic love story. It's a bit of a history lesson. And it gives a lot of sympathetic insight into cultures that I have very little sympathy towards.

I can't get over how well this line of books goes with the lessons laid out in Flip Flop Spanish: Ages 3-5: Level 1. I used this book after the chapter on counting, and of course my kids already knew the word for Dog, so it was just a wonderful reinforcer. What a FUN ...
