Written in both English and Spanish, the El Perro con Sombrero series has been one of the most popular bilingual picture books in the world since the first book's release in 2015. We are excited for Pepe to continue his adventures and to share our love of bilingual reading and education. In this story, Pepe discovers that his owner, little Lucia, forgot her homework assignment and races against the clock to bring it to her at school before the bell rings. However, a gang of mischievous ice cream-loving cats, who call themselves Los Gatos con Gelatos, have other plans for Pepe!

En esta historia, Pepe descubre que su dueña, la pequeña Lucía, olvidó su tarea y corre contra el reloj para traerla a la escuela antes de que suene la campana. Sin embargo, una pandilla de traviesos gatos amantes de los helados que se llaman a sí mismos Los Gatos con Gelatos tienen otros planes para Pepe.

Review

This book is exciting and fun, with an ample amount of suspense on almost every page. Along the way, kids learn a second language in the best way possible -- how it s used in everyday speech. Lynx Animation Studios did a splendid job of bringing Pepe, Lucia and everyone you ll encounter in this book to life in a series of brightly colored and cheerful images. Check out the expressions on their faces and watch how the amazing Pepe actually flies through the air at one point. I had a grand time reading and am quite sure kids will love it as much as I do, if not a lot more. Most highly recommended. --Reader's Favorite

Derek Taylor Kent's El Perro con Sombrero meets Los Gatos con Gelatos is an action-packed, fun picture book full of age-appropriate laughs, engaging illustrations, and a great message. Young readers will giggle at Pepe's obstacle-filled trek to Lucia's school and love cheering him on, be captivated by the lively and silly illustrations, and connect with the book's sweet and important message about kindness, thoughtfulness, and doing good deeds. The story is told in both English and Spanish, making it perfect for English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English learning readers. --Word Spelunking

Review for El Perro con Sombrero: Kent's snappy story moves right along in alternating passages of English and Spanish translation, making its easy multiculturalism seem all the more natural... it's a rollicking demonstration of how the two languages can live side by side as comfortably as many a family's pet dog and cat. --The New York Times
