¡Arriba el Medio Ambiente!

This bilingual rendering of `The Harvest Birds/Los Pajaros De LA Cosecha', and the beautiful clear lines of Enrique Flores artwork, make the telling of this wonderfully ecologically minded folktale, an inspiration for young and old alike as they share this delightful book, and provides a very natural springboard for meaningful discussion on ecological issues, and brainstorming of ideas for action that we can participate in to help preserve our World. More over the vocabulary has helped my grandsons as we prepare to go on an ecological / natural history based holiday amongst the unique flora and fauna of the beautiful Islas Canarias.
