Summary

Immerse yourself in the world of the Martinez Kids, three spunky bilingual children who have some exciting adventures!

Their elderly Mexican neighbor Don Toño invites their family to join him in his virtual reality invention (hidden in an inconspicuous garden shed), which allows them to experience life as animals. Join the kids as they scamper through the trees as squirrels, swim through the oceans as dolphins, whales, and sharks, and swing through a Mexican rainforest as spider monkeys.

This audiobook is great for kids to listen to on their own, and is also a wonderful family bonding session that will spark great conversations about important themes. As the kids navigate situations like peer pressure and the temptation to steal, their experiences in real life and in the animal world will lead them to draw their own conclusions.

In addition, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into a bicultural Mexican-American family where English and Spanish blend naturally. Their Papi and neighbors Don Toño and Doña Rosa are positive examples of Mexicans living in the United States. The book comes with a glossary to help with pronunciations and meanings.

Children and adults alike will be intrigued by this unique take on animals, culture, values, and imagination!

Join the Martinez kids for three exciting stories in one book!

Three Sweet Stories

This book includes three sweet children’s stories about the Martinez siblings. I love that each tale encompasses an important lesson for kids—adults too. Lessons about kindness, appreciating what you have, friendship, and standing up for what is right, among others. The book is very entertaining, and young readers are sure to enjoy it. The narrator’s voice is amazing. She brought the stories to life. All in all, a five star read with five star narration. Loved it!
