Cool Book Alert – Un Pato en Nueva York

May 16, 2011 by Deanna Tousignant Leave a Comment

I was offered a free review copy of Un Pato en Nueva York, a cute kids storybook & music CD set, which I actually turned down. Un Pato en Nueva York is the Spanish language version of the Juno Award winning “Duck in New York City”. Right now Rainbow is fixated on learning French.
