It's Herbert's birthday...and even a guy with a ping-pong ball for a head has his wishes for that special day. Herbert's friends have other ideas, though. How will Herbert finally celebrate his big day? A simple but unpredictably-repetitive read for new readers of Spanish. Most books for emergent readers of Spanish are designed for a native-speaking emergent reader age group (3-6 years of age) and so can be poorly accepted by older learners of Spanish who still need very simple language, and often contain low-frequency difficult vocabulary. Vocabulary and structure in this book focus on useful items like "birthday", "goes to", "is angry", "is sad", and other high-frequency words and structures.
