A great book to expose students to classic Spanish Literature. Chico Chile tells three classic Spanish stories, Don Quijote, Platero y yo, and El Sombrero de tres picos, that get beginning students excited about reading in Spanish. Each story is a lighter and simpler version of the original, with illustrations on each page. Chico Chile's stories are written in Present Tense for easier comprehension, with difficult vocabulary words defined at the botton of each page.
