# José and Feliz Play Fútbol - Hardcover

by **Susan Rose** (Author), **Silvia López** (Author), **Gloria Félix** (Illustrator)

**José and his dog play soccer in this fun early reader that uses both Spanish and English!**

José has been selected for the school soccer team! Finally, he gets to be part of el equipo de fútbol. He starts practicing in his backyard right away. But when he kicks the ball toward the net, his best friend--who is also his dog, Feliz--runs after it! Can José find a way to bring his furry pal to his fútbol games without worrying el perro will chase el balón? Join José as he teaches Feliz all the new commands he needs to know!

This early reader, co-written by notable Broadway producer Susan Rose and children's book author Silvia López, is the perfect introduction for English-speaking children who have just begun learning Spanish. The inclusion of the Spanish/English translations at the end of the book also makes it an excellent teaching tool. Exciting, easy-to-read books are the stepping stone a young reader needs to bridge the gap between being a beginner and being fluent.
