Usborne La Escuela de Buenas Maneras de Dona Carmela SPANISH TITLE (School of manners)
Un libro con fabulosas ilustraciones que nos cuenta el día extraordinario de un pequeño mapache llamado Alberto en la escuela de doña Carmela. Al principio, Alberto tiene malos modales, pero las lecciones en el aula de compartir y el laboratorio de escucha atenta, el almuerzo en el comedor con sus compañeros, los libros de la biblioteca del buen habla y el día de la deportividad tendrán un efecto transformador en nuestro amiguito.
A charmingly illustrated picture book about a little raccoon called Algernon and his extraordinary day at Miss Molly’s school. Algernon’s manners are bad at first... but lessons in the Sharing Studio and Listening Carefully Lab, lunchtime in the Dining Hall, the Library’s lovely language books and Good Sports Day soon have a transformative effect.
