Title: A Cat & A Dog/ Un gato y un pero
Review: As a teacher I have owned this book for several years; this opinion is my honest opinion.This short story is an English Second Language teacher's dream. I present conflict resolution in both English and Spanish (and I realize than not all ESL students have Spanish as their first language but a larger number of preschool children entering preschool are coming with no ability to speak English). The ESL preschool children in my class love this short book, by the end of the school year, they could recite it from memory and have increased vocabulary, gained an understanding of both problem solving and conflict resolution. All excellent lessons for preschool children, when using the book the teacher will direct the discussions along those lines. (My English children have learned the Spanish words, so they benefit from the bi-lingual aspect of the book too.)
Is the review positive or negative?
