The bear's hat is gone, and he wants it back. Patiently and
politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they
have seen it.
El oso no encuentra su sombrero y pregunta a otros animales si lo
vieron. Todos contestan que no, ¡incluso el conejo que lleva el sombrero
del oso en la cabeza!
The bear's hat is gone, and he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no, some more elaborately than others. But just as the bear begins to despond, a deer comes by and asks a simple question that sparks the bear's memory and renews his search with a vengeance.
¿Dónde puede estar el sombrero del oso? ¿Y si alguien lo hubiera robado? El oso pregunta a otros animales si lo han visto. Todos responden que no. Entonces, un ciervo hace una pregunta que despierta la memoria del oso... ¿encontrará al ladrón?
We love this
book in English and have been waiting for a Spanish edition! This is a really
great book for emerging bilinguals who are beginning to learn Spanish, because
of the repetition and short text. The plot is very simple, but still manages to
be hilarious. We laugh out loud reading this book! Definitely recommend! -NetGalley-Reviewer
The
illustrations are gorgeous as always and the unintended humor I enjoy out of
this book is as great as the first time when I read it in English. This makes
for an excellent gift for Spanish-speaking children or friends just learning
Spanish. - Netgalley-Educator
This is the
best kid's picture book of the century in my opinion. The bear and other
animals are charming, the story teaches persistence, memory, and personal
responsibility, there are deep ethical questions, and the implied murder and
danger are good reminders to kids that the world is not always neat a nd
kind. - NetGalley-Educator
Honestly, I'm a little ashamed that it never
occurred to me before to check and see if this was in Spanish. Apparently this
is the first time it's been translated! Better news still, all the "hat" books
will be translated. If not now then soon. How's that for a picker-upper? - A
