In the #1 New York Times bestseller We Are the Gardeners, Joanna Gaines and the kids chronicle the adventures of starting their own family garden.

We Are the Gardeners is a whimsical picture book perfect for:

• Ages 4-8
• Parents, libraries, classroom story times, and discussions focusing on springtime and gardening
• Households that enjoy watching HGTV's Fixer Upper
• Young children and families interested in gardening and plants

After reading, children will learn:

• Trying something new isn't always easy, but the hardest work often yields the greatest reward
• The basic steps and process of starting a garden
• The importance of patience and how it is possible to learn from your mistakes

You and your children will learn all about the Gaines family's story of becoming gardeners in Joanna's first children's book--starting with the first little fern Chip bought for Jo. Over the years, the family's love for gardening has blossomed into what is now a beautiful, bustling garden.

This high-quality Spanish-language edition of Eric Carle's The Grouchy Ladybug can be enjoyed by fluent Spanish speakers as well as those learning the language, whether at home or in a classroom.

Por veinte años, La mariquita malhumorada ha deleitado a los pequeños lectores y oyentes. Sus dibujos audaces y su texto humorístico nos relatan la historia de una diminuta mariquita, como no hay otra.

La mariquita malhumorada no acostumbraba a decir "por favor" ni "gracias"; no le gustaba compartir nada; pensaba que era más grande y más importante que los demás; y siempre estaba lista a provocar una pelea.

De acción continua y con atractivas páginas troqueladas, esta historia invita a los niños a explorar los conceptos de tiempo, tamaños, formas y buenos modales. Aprenderán, a la vez que se divertirán, con el cuento de cómo esta malhumorada fanfarrona se encuentra con "la horma de su zapato" y se convierte en un insecto bueno y educado.

Reimpreso, utilizando las ilustraciones originales, La mariquita malhumorada, más atractiva que nunca, continúa siendo uno de los libros preferidos de los niños por su originalidad y su belleza.
