The King of Things/El Rey de las Cosas: A Loteria Board Book

In this bilingual (Spanish/English) very early reader, Little Lalo receives inspiration from the famous Mexican loterķa game. Since Lalo is the King of Things, and three years old besides, he plays the cards and counts as his possessions the sun, the moon, a lion, a fish, a clown, a train, the crown on his head. Each card in Lalo's kingdom has its own page, illustrated with a playful, brightly colored woodcut, with the opposing page describing the scene in Spanish and English.
