Author Description

Young readers learn to match colors and work gears and pivots in this interactive Spanish-language book in Silver Dolphin's "Mekanimals" series. Professor Engranes prefers his own clockwork Mekanimals to real wild creatures with their teeth and claws. Here, readers help the professor put together an elephant, a giraffe, a crocodile, and a rhinoceros. They assemble a combination of gears to put a large head, a long neck, a set of jaws, and some strong legs into motion. This kit includes a board book with rhyming text, a tray of plastic pivots and gears, and four moving Mekanimals, one on each spread.
