Es un arbol

Ages 4 to 8, Grades P to 3

Now in Spanish! Funny animals play a party game that's both silly and thought-provoking.

It is a tree. It is a wall. It is a snake. It is a fan.

A zebra, a giraffe, a turtle, and other animals play a party game. Blindfolded, they guess what's in the room by feel alone. Could it be a wall? A rope? A fan? No. It's an elephant!

Now available in Spanish, this simple story based on the ancient Indian parable about the blind men and the elephant teaches point-of-view and reinforces basic Spanish vocabulary with bright illustrations of the different objects the animals guess.
