Las Magicas y Misteriosas Aventuras de una Bulldog Llamada Noelle - Multicultural Literature


This book's title, translated to English, reads "The magical and mysterious adventures of a bulldog named Noelle." The book's plot follows a bulldog as a young girl finds her and brings her home. The bulldog romps around nature, getting into mischief and meeting animal friends. It's a cute story with colorfully vivid pictures throughout. The most interesting thing about this book is that it's all in Spanish! There isn't even an English translation. I think that's a great thing, because in my fourth grade class this semester we have one student that is so behind in her reading because all the books are in English. She would love to have a book in Spanish, and she could start decoding words in her native language while she works on her English skills elsewhere. I would implement this in my classroom as a book for English speakers who are curious about the Spanish language, or for Spanish speakers who need something to read!
