La Familia Bola (Spanish Edition)
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
Aunque gorditos y grises, estos graciosos animalitos se lanzaran a la aventura y formarán su propio teatro, recordándonos ese artista que todos llevamos dentro. ¿Todavía no conocéis a la familia Bola? Debajo de un gran teatro de cabaret vivía una familia enorme de bichitos bola. El cabaret abría por las noches, y acogía a todas las estrellas del momento, que se juntaban para cantar y bailar al ritmo de la música. Pero claro, ¡con ese estruendo no había quién pegara ojo! Así que la familia Bola decidió dormir durante el día, y por la noche se ponían sus mejores trajes de gala y se unían a la fiesta. Sin duda, estos animalitos tenían alma de artista. Tras encontrar un palco abandonado en el teatro, decidieron montar su propio espectáculo. Cada miembro de la familia tenía un talento especial: uno cantaba como los ángeles, otro prefería bailar y crear las mejores coreografías... Todos tenían su papel. Un día, un miembro de la familia que vivía en el extranjero les hizo una propuesta que no pudieron rechazar... ¡montar un teatro ambulante!

K-Gr 4--The Bola family consists of small, chubby, gray creatures with 16 legs apiece. They live in the basement of a noisy theater-cabaret where they have plenty of space. Because they are unattractive, they use wigs, wear makeup, and dress in colorful clothes. But the most extraordinary thing about the Bolas is their ability to roll into a ball. Through the years, the little animals have learned to act and entertain. So in an empty theater box, the Bolas put on their own show, El Gran Teatro Varieties, where they perform and are eventually discovered by a flea agent that takes them on a world tour. From the moment youngsters pick up this fun read, they will be captivated by it and by the colorful and detailed illustrations. A great selection for storytime.--Ana Rodriguez, Media Specialist, Tamarac, FL
