Re: novels in Spanish

["Diane Dye" <dededye1@tx.rr.com>]

Debbie,

  Most of my ESL students love to read the same books the other kids 
read--but in Spanish.  The Harry Potter books, Pam Munoz Ryan, and many 
other writers/books have Spanish translations.  If you go to your local 
Barnes and Noble they will have a shelf in the children's area of Spanish 
translations.
