What Can I Do When It Rains?

Houghton Mifflin introduces two new Good Beginnings board books for 2004, published in English-only and bilingual English-Spanish editions. Continuing the popular series format, these delightful books answer the question in their title with words that have been selected by the editors of the American Heritage. Dictionaries for their familiarity and age-appropriateness. And, as in the previous books, a whimsical menagerie of bears, pigs, dogs, and even a soccer-playing elephant brings the words to life in Pamela Zagarenski`s irresistible full-color drawings. In WHAT AM I PLAYING? (?QUI JUEGO?), the answers include a range of sports and games from outdoor ball games and playground activities to indoor pursuits such as puzzles and puppets. WHAT CAN I DO WHEN IT RAINS? (QUI PUEDO HACER CUANDO LLUEVE?) includes simple verb phrases such as play with friends and jump in puddles to answer its question, making this an excellent book to introduce children to basic sentence structure.
