. However there are several books that are fairly cheap and out of print. You just have to search for them. Here is a list of what I have found...La Mejor Navidad De Froggy (Scholastic)
Vamos Froggy
Froggy y el Día de Halloween (Froggy's Halloween)
Froggy juega al futbol
Froggy Seva A Dormir
Froggy Va a La Escuela
Froggy Sale a Cenar
Froggy Toca En La Banda
Froggy va al medico (Spanish Edition)
Here are a few other books that are either fun to read or help with vocabulary building:
Bear about Town/Oso En La Ciudad (Bilingual English/Spanish) (Multilingual Edition) (The Bear Series) (Spanish Edition)
Bear in Sunshine/Oso Bajo El Sol (Spanish Edition) (Fun First Steps)
Bear at Home/Oso En Casa (Bilingual English/Spanish) (Multilingual Edition) (Spanish & English Bilingual Bk)
Bear at Home/Oso En Casa (Bilingual English/Spanish) (Multilingual Edition) (Spanish & English Bilingual Bk)
Or how about a traditional favorite, Dr. Seuss?
Huevos verdes con jamón
Un Pez, Dos Peces, Pez Rojo, Pez Azul/One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish (Spanish Edition)
Eric Carle's books are great also...
From Head to Toe (Spanish edition): De la cabeza a los pies
Oso pardo, oso pardo, ¿qué ves ahí? (Brown Bear and Friends) (Spanish Edition)
There are a ton of Spanish children's books out there. One of the easiest ways to search for them on Amazon is if it originally was a book in English type in the English title and the word "Spanish" after it. Normally if the Spanish version exists it will pop up. Have fun searching!
My kids loved Froggy. Sigh. Those days are behind me now.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I don't know if your library has it, but my library has subscribed to Scholastic's BookFlix. From home, I can enter my library card and get access. Bookflix pairs a fiction and non-fiction story. For example, "Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type" is paired with "Let's Visit a Dairy Farm" The fiction book is presented as a video, while the non-fiction book is done as just pages to read. Each has a "read along" feature.
Now I am getting to why I am telling you all of this. Some of the books are available in Spanish. So, the kids could hear someone read the book in Spanish and they can follow along with the words at the bottom of the page. In the non-fiction one, you can read it yourself, or put the read-along feature on and a Spanish speaker will read while you follow along with the highlighted word.
I think one of the interesting aspects of this is that you could become familiar with a book in English and then do it in Spanish. I am not a language teacher, but I would think that would help when you are trying to understand the Spanish.
Anyway, I don't know if your library has it, but maybe it could be suggested. If they have a good Friends group, maybe they would be willing to pay for it to benefit the entire community.
