One park,
two dogs,
two boys,
two lost balls …
and dozens of
ballplayers.

No!
¿Es ésta tu pelota?
¡No!

Then …

¡Vamos a buscar al dueño de esta pelota!

The Little Cow In Valle Grande

Buddie and his mother live in a beautiful valley surrounded by high mountains. One day, Buddie is feeling adventurous and announces he will climb to the top of the mountain. Although his mother warns against it, Buddie begins climbing up the mountainside. Discovering his mother was right, Buddie tries his hand at skiing to return to the valley and his mother.

Valle Grande is now part of Valles Caldera National Preserve in New Mexico’s Jemez Mountain Range. The little cow, his mother, and all their friends are still there at various times of the year. There is a visitor center at the Preserve that offers information about the cows.
