�Quij�teres! - English Spanish: The Misadventurous T�tere Don Quixote de La Mancha

by Jason Yancey, E Yancey (Illustrator), Osuba (Editor)

Overview

Summary: Somewhere in the wilderness of España... lived a poor hidalgo who dreamed of one day becoming a knight. Day after day, noche tras noche he read books of heroes and adventures, until one day something inside of him snapped! Follow the misadventures of Don Quijote and his friend Sancho Panza as they travel across Spain battling imaginary villains.

Based on the classic novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, our adventure unfolds in both English and Spanish, abounds in colorful illustrations and told as a shadow puppet performance. It's a story that's part hero on a quest (Quijote), part puppet show (títeres), and all silly. An informative Glossary of historical, cultural, and linguistic references and information about Don Quixote and Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra rounds out this robust book. The language used is entertaining and memorable, which makes this a great resource for those learning Spanish or English.Better still is the inclusion of a "how to" create your own shadow puppets. If you like crazy, silly, and funny books and Don Quixote you will love this book.

Recommended Age: 4-12, and beyond.

Resumen: En algún lugar del desierto de España... vivía un pobre hidalgo que soñaba con convertirse algún día en caballero. Día tras día, noche tras noche leía libros de héroes y aventuras, ¡hasta que un día algo dentro de él se rompió! Sigue las desventuras de Don Quijote y su amigo Sancho Panza mientras viajan por España luchando contra villanos imaginarios. Basada en la novela clásica de Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, nuestra aventura se desarrolla tanto en inglés como en español, repleta de coloridas ilustraciones y contada como una representación de títeres de sombras. Es una historia que es en parte un héroe en una búsqueda (Quijote), en parte un espectáculo de marionetas (títeres) y todo absurdo.

Un glosario informativo de referencias e información histórica, cultural y lingüística sobre Don Quijote y Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra completa este robusto libro. El lenguaje utilizado es entretenido y memorable, lo que lo convierte en un gran recurso para quienes aprenden español o inglés. Mejor aún es la inclusión de "cómo" crear tus propios títeres de sombras.

Si te gustan los libros locos, tontos y divertidos y a Don Quijote, este libro te encantará.
