This stylish bilingual board book introduces early Spanish and English vocabulary about nature with appealing, textured illustrations. Each spread compares the tiny things we see in nature, like acorns and raindrops, with great big wonders like trees and rainbows, to reinforce the concept of opposites. The thick cardboard pages with high-contrast illustrations are perfect for reading again and again with a baby. Also available in English-only edition.
