?Quij?teres! - English Spanish: The Misadventurous T?tere Don Quixote de La Mancha

Summary: Somewhere in the wilderness of Espa?a... lived a poor hidalgo who dreamed of one day becoming a knight.

Based on the classic novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, our adventure unfolds in both English and Spanish, abounds in colorful illustrations and told as a shadow puppet performance. It's a story that's part hero on a quest (Quijote), part puppet show (t?teres), and all silly.

The language used is entertaining and memorable, which makes this a great resource for those learning Spanish or English.Better still is the inclusion of a "how to" create your own shadow puppets. If you like crazy, silly, and funny books and Don Quixote you will love this book.

Recommended Age: 4-12, and beyond.
