About this book

Español

Nuestro patio de recreo

El primer día de Ana en kínder, el tobogán era como una montaña. Los demás niños de su clase la animan a deslizarse "abajo, abajo, abajo, hasta el fondo y ver a sus nuevos amigos". Los pequeños lectores se sentirán identificados con estos niños de primaria que juegan al aire libre. En primer grado, Ana conoce a Karina, quien se convierte en su mejor amiga. ¡Juntas, se columpian cada vez más alto mientras intentan patear el cielo! En segundo grado, Ana y sus amigas se balancean como monos, comen plátanos de mentira y gritan: "¡Ooo, ooo, ooo! ¿Pueden hacer lo que hacemos nosotros?". A medida que crecen, los niños aprenden a jugar nuevos juegos en el patio: baloncesto, fútbol e incluso balonmano. El aclamado autor de libros infantiles, James Luna, usa textos cortos y sencillos y palabras dinámicas para representar a los niños jugando. Se columpian y se cuelgan, driblan y lanzan, pasan y patean, ríen y aprenden. Y cuando llegan a sexto grado, tienen que despedirse del patio de su escuela. ¡Pero algún día volverán!

English

Growing Up on the Playground

“On Ana’s first day of kindergarten, the slide stood like a mountain.” The other kids in her class encourage her to glide “down, down, down, to the bottom and her new friends.”
Young readers will relate to these elementary school children playing outside. In first grade, Ana meets Karina, who becomes her best friend. Together, they swing higher and higher as they try to kick the sky! In second grade, Ana and her friends dangle like monkeys, eat pretend bananas and call out, “Ooo, ooo, ooo! Can you do what we do?” As they grow, the kids learn to play new games on the playground: basketball, soccer and even handball.
Acclaimed children’s book author James Luna uses short, simple text and active words to depict children at play. They swing and hang, dribble and shoot, pass and kick, laugh and learn. And when they get to sixth grade, they have to say good-bye to their school’s playground. But someday they will return!
