El camioncito Azul: Little Blue Truck (Spanish edition)

by Alice Schertle, Jill McElmurry (Illustrator)

Overview

El camioncito Azul es una alegre cacofonía de sonidos de animales y camiones en verso que hará que los jóvenes piten y graznan, ¡y mendiguen una vuelta más! Las ilustraciones de gouache de Jill McElmurry son cálidas y maravillosas, encajando el texto alegremente rimado de Alice Schertle en un T. Esta traducción al español del galardonado poeta Isabel Campoy mantiene la rima y el encanto del original.

Editorial Reviews

"Schertle's (All You Need for a Beach) rhyming stanzas are succinct, and she gives readers plenty of opportunities to chime in with animal and vehicle noises; colored, standout fonts highlight these sounds for extra effect. McElmurry's (Mad About Plaid) gouaches recall the heyday of Golden Books in their combination of vividness, naïveté and sweetness, and her rich palette achieves verisimilitude that is no less satisfying for being nostalgic."  —Publishers Weekly, starred review (4/28/08)
