BOOKS IN ENGLISH
In this book, each letter of the alphabet focuses on a vehicle or item associated with transportation — from airplane to the
Zamboni. Each letter also includes engaging now-and-then facts and images that show how transportation has changed
over the years, lead-in questions, and I Wonder questions. Young readers will be intrigued by the variety of ways humans
travel — on land, over water, and in the sky.

C c canoe
H h helicopter
Would you rather paddle a canoe
or ride in a motor boat?
Can you describe the sound of
a helicopter when it is flying?
Did you know?
Did you know?
Canoes are a fun way to travel over
lakes and rivers. A canoe can be made
from many different materials, including
wood, fiberglass, and aluminum.
Helicopters are used for searchand-rescue, photography, fighting
forest fires, chasing criminals,
and many other activities that
require takeoff and landing in
small spaces. If you live near a
hospital, you may see a helicopter
taking off from or landing on the
hospital’s roof in an emergency.
I wonder
Why do canoes
tip so easily?
Many years ago, Indigenous
peoples of Canada invented
the canoe to make it easier to
travel the waterways. The first
canoes were handmade from
birchbark.
The first helicopters were
used by the military for
watching enemy territory,
delivering supplies, and
moving injured soldiers.

I wonder
How is a helicopter
able to hover, or
stay in the air in
one place?

This is a different kind of alphabet book. Instead of using nouns to introduce the
letters of the alphabet, the authors use verbs. For each verb, humorous sketches
and simple phrases are given. When reading this book, adults and children are
invited to engage in play, creativity, and discovery.

people. Although we are so many and so distinctive, we are also alike in one way:
we are all different. And there is a word that can bring us together: US. This book
creates an entertaining graphic game that will touch the hearts of everyone who
reads it.
Vivimos con miles de millones de animales –moscas, perros, gansos y conejos, por

A young boy sits by himself on a beach on a rainy day. He thinks of the word
“house” and writes it in the sand. For a moment, he dreams of a house and of a
family as big as the whole world. He then lets his imagination soar. This story, with
simple words and powerful pictures, encourages children to empathize and feel
more connected with the lives of other children.
Un niño está solo en la playa en un día de lluvia. Jugando, piensa en la palabra
“casa”, la escribe en la arena. Por un momento, sueña con una casa y una familia tan
grandes como el mundo. Después, vuelve al juego. Un relato en el que la sencillez
de las palabras y la fuerza de la ilustración emocionan, generan empatía y acercan a
los chicos a la vida de otros niños.
