There’s no denying that February is a month of hearts, love and kisses! Juanito Counts to Ten written by Lee Merrill Byrd is a bilingual counting book that is simple and perfect for this month.
It covers numbers one to ten in English and Spanish, describes family members and friends, and has vibrant pictures. The kisses Juanito gives are shown in the form of hearts, so before reading the book, try teaching your child the term “corazón”, which means heart. It could be fun to practice counting ten “corazones”, like in the book Juanito Counts to Ten, when you’re out and about! If you don’t see any hearts, have your child give you ten kisses instead!
