El Leon en la hierba (Lion in the Grass)

Life of lion in its natural habitat-the grasslands of Africa. Features prey, groupings of lions, behaviors, and care of young. No English translation. Book begins with a 2-page chart that lists nouns and accompanying photos, allowing the serious non-Spanish speaking scholar to make a text to picture connection, and figure out, on a basic level, what the story is saying. Also, the rebuses interspersed with text on each page, would allow a Spanish speaking student who is an emergent reader, to decode and understand the information. Glossary (Spanish) Reinforced binding. No A.R. test located. Bright, colorful full-page photos add to the appeal of this basic reader.
