Synopsis

In this third book about the four friends -- Conejo (a rabbit), Tortuga (a tortoise), Culebra (a snake) and Iguana -- bilingual counting and vocabulary are the backdrop for a humorous tale. When Conejo can't make her cactus butter dulces because she stubbed her toe, Culebra devises a very loud and ingenious plan to help her forget her pain and get all the friends involved in making the candy. A glossary, pronunciation guide and a no-cook recipe are included.

Very entertaining book with great illustrations, my 3yr old daughter learned to count to 10 in Spanish, and she laughs when Culebra keeps adding to Iguana's tail. Doctor's orders!! We enjoy reading (and counting) this book together.......more

Goodreads review by The Brothers on January 22, 2016

Fun story of an iguana stubbing her toe and how the "doctor" snake helps her get over her pain so she can make her cactus butter dulces. A very nice introduction to Spanish numbers. Illustrations are okay.......more
