Quinito’s Neighborhood/El vecindario de Quinito

Quinito not only knows everyone in his neighborhood, he also knows that each person in his community has different, important occupation.

Sumario en español: Quinto sabe que su vecindad consiste en mas que edificios, calles y tienda. Todos los vecinos tienen trabajos importantes y cada amigo y vecino sabe y valora cada uno.

Join Hands

Friends come together to sing, dance, and play in this tribute to community. Pat Mora weaves the repeating lines of a pantoum, a Malaysian poetic form, into a joyful celebration while George Ancona’s energetic photos capture the ways of enjoying good times with others.

Way Out in the Desert

A counting book in rhyme presents various desert animals and their children, from a mother horned toad and her little toadie one to a mom tarantula and her little spiders ten. Numerals are hidden in each illustration.
