Two classic and beloved Mem Fox stories are now available as bilingual board books with spectacular translations by F. Isabel Campoy. In Time for Bed/Es hora de dormir, two lines of rhyming text per page (in English and Spanish) and gentle watercolor illustrations show us various animal babies preparing to go to sleep. This warm bedtime story can now be shared with niños in English, Spanish, or both!

Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes celebrates babies from around the world. No matter their differences, each baby is perfect. Snuggle up and tickle your little one’s deditos as you share this joyful story. Each title maintains the rhythm and rhyme of the original English in the Spanish translation making these fun to read aloud. Both are highly recommended additions to babies’ libraries.
