How Many Squirrels Are in the World?/¿Cuántas ardillas hay en el mundo? (Bilingual English-Spanish Edition)

A lively bilingual counting book with English and Spanish text, featuring a kid trying to keep track of a whole lotta squirrels!

How many squirrels are in the world? For one little kid this is a burning question, but a challenging one, as some days it seems like there are squirrels everywhere! Still, she searches high and low, near and far, trying her best to get a grip on the squirrely situation.

In this lively bilingual count-along book, Latin GRAMMY winner Ben Gundersheimer’s playful rhyming text, based on one of his popular children’s songs, pairs perfectly with Marcos Almada Rivero’s bold, colorful art. As children marvel over our heroine’s persistence, they will have fun spotting oodles of rambunctious squirrels themselves.
