Dear Friends,
Wooly Week will start in just over a month! But I'll send out more details about that next week. Right now, we have something else to talk about.
Today we release two new books, a brand new children's book as well as a limited-edition of one of our best-sellers.
Got a moment? Let me tell you about them!
|
Señor Wooly has published
a children's book!
|
Today we release our very first children's book, "No somos amigos", illustrated by Juan Carlos Pinilla and written by me.
Why a children's book?
Because we believe there's a need! Many people assume that children's books are a natural fit for second language acquisition due to the illustrations. However, the reality is that the language in most childen's books is far too advanced for your average beginner Spanish class.
Why not have the best of both worlds? "No somos amigos" has both gorgeous illustrations and unbelievably simple language.

|
What's the story?
"No somos amigos" is a prequel to our hit music video, "Diego y sus amigos". It tells the story of the contentious relationship between Diego and Tomás and how they struggle to find common ground on the basics of navigation.
Although it definitely works best for people familiar with the original video, it's still a great standalone story.
What level is the book written at?
It's written for beginners at Spanish. In fact, the book has only 38 unique words!
|
Who is the story appropriate for?
The story is appropriate for all ages. It's a goofy little story with humor that will appeal to young and old.
How long is the book?
"No somos amigos" is a hardcover children's book with 64 gorgeous pages! Most readers can easily read this book in 15 minutes, making it perfect for independent reading.
Does it have a Spanish-English glossary?
You betcha! It may only have 38 unique words, but students will still have all the help they need right at their finger tips.
|
Is the book available digitally?
No, the book is not included in the Wooly subscription. The only way to read it is in print.
|
You can buy it through our store. This is not a pre-order! Books will ship immediately!
One caution: Since children's books are an experimental venture for us, this has a very small first print. Get it while it's in stock!

New Book #2: A new edition of
"La casa de La Dentista"
|
Ever since we released 4 levels of each digital graphic novel, we've been inundated with requests to print all of them.
Unfortunately, we simply can't print 4 different levels of each book. That would be 24 editions for just our Spanish graphic novels alone!
That said, we have decided to make special exception and print a brand new special edition of "La casa de La Dentista" at Novice Low.
This book is officially on sale today.
|
Is the old edition still available?
Why did you decide to print the alternate version of this book?
"La casa de la Dentista" is our best-selling graphic novel with almost 100,000 copies sold.
Although we love the digital versions offered through our subscription, there is something special about holding a graphic novel in the hand. We wanted to make a limited-edition print that would make this experience even more accessible to novice readers.
|
You can buy this new edition through our store.
NOTE: Similar to "No somos amigos", this is a smaller print run. Therefore, if you want this in your library, act fast!
