La siesta perfecta (Junior Library Guild Selection) (Somos8) (Spanish Edition)

This colorful read-aloud, full of terrific repetition and pattern, will keep kids wide awake as the book's animals nap! It is very hot in the jungle and suddenly a nice breeze arrives. The jaguar wants to take a siesta. Just then he saw a coati and said,“Could you do me a big favor? Could you wake me up in exactly 10 minutes?” The coati wanted a siesta too, and asked the cockatiel to wake him up in exactly 10 minutes... This should become a new favorite for multiple readings; kids will enjoy reciting the final countdown of minutes and that explosive, page-filling snore. Snoring usually isn't this much fun. ― Kirkus Reviews The Perfect Siesta has entered regular storytime reading at home, and I’m planning a great nap-centric read-aloud to debut this one at my library.
