From the Emmy-nominated, award-winning bilingual preschool series Canticos, comes Thank You, Gracias, a lift-the-flap book with rhyming English and Spanish text.

Sing and learn about what it means to give thanks in English and Spanish. Thank You, Gracias is full of bright, cheerful art featuring the Little Chickies and other favorite Canticos characters, and engaging lift-the-flaps. This board book is a great way to make learning and singing with your little ones special and unique in not one, but two languages.
