DESCRIPTION:
Written in Spanish and English, this book is so supremely simple that a baby can delight in it, and yet so complex that an adult reader can find joy in the poem and beautiful images over and over again.Jorge Luján dreamed this myth and, when he wrote it, understood that the rooster is the poet of the day. Manuel Monroy dipped his pen in the ink of the night and, when he withdrew it, found it was spangled with stars.. The song of the rooster draws forth the universe and gives way to the dance of beings and objects as day draws its first brilliant breath
Monroy's primitive acrylic paintings are deep hued and utterly engaging. . The blue rooster, speckled with white like the night sky, is inquisitive and active, giving life to this simple explanation of day and night. All rights reserved.

The night overwhelms the day, but this only serves to give that feisty rooster a chance to eat the stars, thus clearing the night sky for the new day. Reading equally well in the original Spanish and in the English translation, the text smoothly depicts the daily progression, with one line of the poem allotted to each spread.

beloved by our toddler We checked this out from our local library and had to buy it based on the reaction of our 19-month-old daughter who adores this book. Gallo is a very simple, fun, unique, beautifully illustrated poem, which is easy to memorize in both languages even with my high school-level Spanish. This is fabulous for our family as my daughter is . ELLs, Spanish, Poems, Reenact it Ana Lado All ages of beginner Spanish students like this book. I teach this very dense but short and easy poetic book to beginner ELLs. They enjoy being a rooster, the sun, the night, the stars as they say their line and walk across the stage. It is a must have for Spanish-English bilingual programs.
