Vivo cerca de un desierto (There's a Desert in My Backyard!)

Many people around the world live in the forest biome. That’s because temperate forests grow in places where winter isn’t too cold and summer isn’t too hot. Readers learn that we need to care for this biome that’s in so many backyards. Simple, accessible language describes common trees and characteristics of both evergreen and deciduous forests, and full-color photographs highlight their beauty. Animals and their adaptations to this biome are addressed in the main content as well.

After reading this Spanish-translated book, readers can decide if they will ever be interested in engaging in one of these extreme sports.

Francisco Umbral logra una crónica magistral de la adolescencia y la provincia que va desde el milagrismo de la guerra y la posguerra al realismo cotidiano de la pequeña ciudad; del cielo de España por el que volaban los obispos al infierno de los más duros trabajos de la época, pasando por el purgatorio de la adolescencia.Pío XII, Millán Astral, la Virgen de Fátima y la guardia mora de Franco transitan con naturalidad por esta obra brillante, irónica y melancólica que fue finalista del Premio Planeta 1985.
