A bilingual slide-the-tab board book, with text in English and Spanish. Cleverly introduce basic ideas about what happens in the morning when you wake up, including a rooster crowing, an alarm clock ringing, Dad shaving, and neighbors making coffee. The tabs add fun and unexpected movement for illustrator Xavier Salomó’s simple but engaging art.
My 2-year-old now insists on pulling the tab to make the rooster crow every single morning before breakfast. Having both English and Spanish on each page means my mom can read it to him too, which is a nice bonus.
The sliding tabs are sturdy enough that my toddler hasn't torn one yet, which says a lot. I like that the Spanish and English sit side by side on each page, so I end up reading both without thinking about it. The rooster page is the current favorite.
My 18-month-old lights up every time we pull the tab to reveal the crowing rooster. I love that it sneaks in both English and Spanish words without feeling like a lesson, just a fun morning routine on each page.
