Grandma's Pear Tree by Suzanne Santillan

This is a cute bilingual picture book. A young boy playing ball on a farm accidentally gets his ball (la pelota) stuck in his Grandma's favorite tree, a Pear Tree. Fearing she will be very upset with him he seeks the help of family members on the farm. The story continues with repeated lines adding to it with each attempt to resolve the problem, all the while making the Spanish vocabulary words more familiar. It's a cute way to teach children some basic Spanish words. The illustrations are warm and welcoming.
