The book, An Alphabet Fiesta is
unique in that it is written in both English and Spanish.
Young children will enjoy joining an entire alphabet of animals
as they make their way to the zoo for a surprise fiesta and birthday
party for Zelda the Zebra in response to secret invitations mailed by
Zelda’s mother. Food,
gifts, music, and even the modes of transportation used by the various
guests utilize the same letter of the alphabet as the animal guests
themselves.
Both educational and fun, the
book was illustrated by elementary school children in
Spain
using watercolors. This
makes the book even more colorful and imaginative for those children
flipping through the pages, being read to, or reading for themselves.
