Celebrate nature and community with a frisky dog and his new garden friends in this beginning reader, now in Spanish!

"I have a garden," announces dog. In simple sentences, the dog guides new readers through a bright and lush garden, which is home to a chipmunk, a bird, a bug, and all sorts of other creatures. "This garden is for me," the dog continues. "No. This garden is for all of us. We have a garden," answer his animal neighbors.

Illustrated in vibrant collage, this deceptively simple early reader is a celebration of nature and community, plus little ones can play spot the dog on nearly every spread.

¡Me gusta leer! provides emerging Spanish language readers with translations of popular I Like to Read® books. The award-winning I Like to Read® series focuses on books for kindergarten through first grade. Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors--create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!
Bob Barner is the creator of popular children's books such as Fish Wish, Dem Bones, Ants Rule, and The Day of the Dead/El día de los muertos. He lives with his wife in San Francisco, California. His website is www.bobbarner.com
"Barner’s amusing artwork done in paper collage, gouache, pastel, and pencil radiates off the pages as a playful pup shares the wonders of his garden and all of the living things that reside in it. The clear vocabulary and engaging drawings provide the earliest readers with a delightful story. Barner’s use of perspective is precise, and earthy tones warm each page."—School Library Journal
 
"Barner’s exuberant gouache-and-pastel cut-paper collages feature stylized sunflowers, poppies, daisies and more. . . . Pictures and words (delivered in the educational typeface 'Report School') cohere nicely, offering blossoming readers some fresh, springy practice. The bright pictures, particularly coupled with the clearly defined value of the garden as a shared environment, make this a nice choice for preschoolers, too."—Kirkus Reviews
