The American Republic to 1877, Spanish Student Edition

Description Packed with action and full of the vehicles kids love most, Big Movers is tons of fun! Young readers are there as a front loader scoops piles of gravel for a new roadway, a wrecking ball demolishes and old building, and more. A chunky, movable piece on each vehicle makes reading this book an interactive adventure.

"En el bosque, debajo de la tierra, a través de las nubes o las flores, surcando los ríos o los mares o bajando los montes, se escucha un poderoso rumor; son las criaturas que habitan el universo y cuya presencia se siente a medida que se avanza entre las estrofas de este poema hasta convertirse en un rugido incontenible."--P. [4] of cover.

Think there's just one fairy tale with an overworked girl and wicked stepsisters? Think again! Cultures all around the world have their own Cinderella stories. Visit Canada, China, Egypt, and France, and find out whose "glass slippers" are made of red silk, and whose "fairy godmother" is a fish. Fully translated Spanish text.

As they say, necessity is the mother of invention, and this book introduces readers to 14 women who invented very useful, helpful items. They include Chicago native Margaret Wilcox who invented the car heater, Indiana native Marion O'Brien Donovan who invented disposable diapers, Pennsylvania native Stephanie Kwolek who invented Kevlar, and Austria-born actress Hedy Lamar whose secret communications systems led to the creation of WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
