Synopsis

In this bilingual version of the Little Red Hen, Spanish words and phrases are sprinkled throughout the text to help understanding through context. When Iguana plans a fiesta, her friends all support the idea, but can’t get behind the actual preparations. At party time, Iguana turns away her lazy friends and they find a way to make it up to her. This clever turn on an old favorite is a lesson both in friendship and in Spanish vocabulary. A Live Oak Media audio production.
