¡Vámonos! Let's Go!

Illustrated by Joe Cepeda
From their window on the bus, a girl and a boy see a fire truck that goes woo-ooo-ooo, also known as a camión de bomberos--uuuah uuuah uuuah. They see a train, an ambulance and an airplane too! With this rollicking adaptation of "The Wheels on the Bus," young people can sing out the names of their favorite vehicles and the sounds they make -- in both English and Spanish.
René Colato Laínez is the author of Señor Pancho Had a Rancho, illustrated by Elwood Smith, and other picture books in Spanish and English. He lives in California, where he teaches a bilingual kindergarten class. Through his work as both an author and an educator, he hopes to help all children develop positive self-images.

Joe Cepeda is an award-winning illustrator of more than twenty books for children, including Swing Sisters: The Story of the International Sweethearts of Rhythm, by Karen Deans. He lives in Southern California with his wife and their son.
"A cheery singalong, in both languages."—Publishers Weekly
 
"The joy of this book is the many noises children can make, making it ideal for group participation. . . . Cepeda's oil acrylic illustrations are as appealing and fun as the song itself."—School Library Journal
