It's hard to find quality books that my bilingual kiddos love to read, BUT I came across the School of Monsters translation by Sally Rippin, and my 1st grader is HOOKED!
The plots are fun (and funny!)and engaging. He ❤️ the first 2 so much he asked for more! 10000% recommend these in Eng or Spanish.
