Bebe Goes Shopping<br />

Harcourt, Inc., 2006<br />

With rhyming text and Spanish words, this charming picture book takes us on a trip to the grocery store (supermercado)<br />

with a mother (mama) and her baby (bebe). Mama tries to shop, but the bebe keeps distracting her. Throughout, Spanish<br />

words are used in context so it is easy to determine their meaning. Colorful, cartoon-style illustrations add to the fun <strong>of</strong><br />

grocery shopping and learning new Spanish words. The book concludes with a glossary <strong>of</strong> the Spanish words with their<br />

pronunciation and definitions in English.<br />

illustrated, intergenerational book is set in <strong>Michigan</strong> and is based on the author’s childhood.<br />
