Issuu book: Tierra Imaginada. Tratado de las criaturas del suelo y del subsuelo

OK, I'd like to try something new on my blog... I have been browsing around one of my favorite sites, Issuu. It is a site where publishers and authors can upload their own books, catalogs, magazines, etc. I have two books uploaded on the site: Mi Abuela Ya No Esta and Lisa, Love and the Language Lesson. WELL... there are hundreds of excellent picturebooks in many languages uploaded on the site - an incredible resource for teachers! I will share the best ones I find here in my blog. So, to start things off, try this title:  Tierra Imaginada. Tratado de las criaturas del suelo y del subsuelo. It is VERY cool. Enjoy!
