Synopsis "El Libro de las Primeras Palabras de Wilbur (in Spanish)"

La bruja Winnie, el entrañable personaje creado por la escritora Valerie Thomas y el ilustrador Korky Paul, tiene un gato negro llamado Wilbur. Este personaje es tan simpático e inteligente que merecía su propia serie. Por esta razón, ahora existen libros cuyo protagonista es este felino. Se trata de pequeños pequeños volúmenes impresos en cartón grueso y esquinas redondeadas concebidas especialmente especialmente para los más pequeños. De hecho, no se necesita conocer las aventuras de la bruja Winnie para disfrutar de estos ejemplares, pues son de lectura independiente. Las obras de esa colección serán de gran utilidad para los padres y maestros de preescolar, pues acercan a los niños a conceptos como los colores, los contrarios, las primeras palabras, las formas y los números.
