¿Está mojado? (What Is Wet?)

When people think of soft things, they immediately conjure up images of furry bunnies and similarly textured animals and objects.

This beneficial book teaches readers how to classify familiar objects as wet or dry with short, achievable sentences carefully constructed for vocabulary acquisition. The accessible narrative is accompanied by bright, interesting photographs of the objects.
