Summer reading

Hi readers!

Hoy os quiero compartir una recomendación especial para hacer el verano más divertido y seguir practicando la lengua inglesa en casa.

📖 The Snail and the Whale

La escritora londinense Julia Donaldson nos cautiva con la historia de un pequeño caracol ansioso por explorar el mundo, acompañado por una ballena jorobada que lo lleva en sus viajes a través del mar.

El ilustrador alemán Axel Scheffler da vida a esta historia con imágenes encantadoras que nos permiten disfrutar de distintos paisajes mientras practicamos vocabulario variado:

¿Qué podemos aprender con este libro?

  • The Weather: Vocabulario sobre el clima y las estaciones.
  • Animals: Nombres de criaturas marinas y terrestres.
  • Nature: Paisajes, desde volcanes hasta icebergs.
  • Clothes: Prendas de vestir y mucho más.

Esta historia no solo deleitará a los más pequeños de la casa, sino que también es perfecta para disfrutar en familia durante las vacaciones.

Let's do it... Let's enjoy the reading during the holidays!
