Baker y Taylor

This is the first title in a newly independent reader series that combines fun storylines featuring two bookish cats, with factoids throughout to create an immersive reading experience for bibliophiles, cat-lovers, and learners of regional history and culture alike. Meet Baker and Taylor, two cat buddies (opposite in every way) who are about to leave the comfort of their cozy public library reading nook to embark on one epic literary road trip! After spending most of their time reading in the library, Baker and Taylor are encouraged by their friend Flora to get out and see the world. Their first stop? New York City. There, Flora tells them, they'll meet another pair of cat besties eager to share their library-the 42nd Street branch of the New York Public Library -with them. After they arrive in the city, Baker and Taylor are excited to meet these library cats but can't seem to fi nd them anywhere! With the help of Baker's trusty guidebook, Taylor's sense of adventure, and guidance from New York City's own, these two book-loving cats are about to solve one big mystery and learn some cool things along the way. Includes endmatter on New York Public Library and different New York City landmarks. Formerly a journalist, Candy Rodó has been working in educational publishing for over two decades.

Después de una emocionante primera aventura en Nueva York, Baker y Taylor están listos para las tres R: Descanso, Relajación y LECTURA. Tan pronto como llegan a la siguiente ciudad de su viaje literario, Washington DC, deciden que están listos para una siesta y Taylor escuchó que "President Snuggles" ofrece el mejor lugar para descansar en la ciudad. Entonces, los dos salen en busca de este "President Snuggles", pero en lugar de eso, lo único que obtienen es una larga escapada turística de la que un Baker muy cansado podría prescindir, ¡o al menos esperar hasta después de una siesta! Pronto, los gruñones provocan una pelea entre los dos amigos felinos que resulta en una separación de caminos. El problema es: ¿cómo se disfruta de un buen viaje, de una buena lectura, de una buena siesta sin tu mejor amigo a tu lado? Gracias a un poco de tiempo a solas y a la afortunada ayuda de la Bibliotecaria del Congreso de los Estados Unidos, la Dra. Carla Hayden, Baker y Taylor terminan aprendiendo la importancia de la paciencia, el ingenio y la amistad en su esfuerzo por encontrar al presidente Snuggles. Se incluyen antecedentes e información histórica sobre los diferentes puntos de referencia de Washington DC.
