I got the idea of writing this and all the other "Alex's Bilingual Children's Book Series" because I could not find that many bilingual children's books in the area where we live. Many times I found myself reading a book in English to my son and then translating it into Spanish so he would practice both languages. Other times, I found myself reading a book in Spanish and translating it into English so my son would understand. I also found that it was hard to find a bilingual book with a good message at the end of the story. This book not only allows kids to learn Spanish and/or English, but hopefully will teach your child what's really important when it comes to choosing their friends. As Alex inquires about how to choose his friends, Mom and Dad give him some useful advice. From Dad's childhood story, Alex learns that sometimes kids that seem to be his friends might not really be. Alex realizes that hanging around someone who seems to be the "cool" guy, might not be the best choice, especially when the "cool" guy doesn't care about Alex that much. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I do when I read it to my son. Please point to each word in this book as you read to your child so he/she can start recognizing the sounds that each word makes in each language. This book is perfect for children ages 3-9.
