Marta is
una niña
, an ordinary girl . . . with some extraordinary animal friends!
As Marta explores the jungle, she knows she's bigger than a bug, smaller than an elephant, and faster than a turtle. But then she meets the snake, who thinks Marta is
sabrosa—
tasty, very tasty! But Marta is
ingeniosa
, a very clever girl, and she outsmarts the snake with hilarious results.
With simple Spanish and a glossary at the end, this fun read-aloud picture book,
Marta! Big and Small,
teaches little ones to identify opposites and animals and learn new words.
