When small children put on a pair of magic boots, they can be anything they imagine or want to be! This book and it's five companion books (3 for Martin, 3 for Miranda) are bilingual (English and Spanish), in the Mexican context. The books were written to develop occupational aspirations in young children ages 2-6, in Mexico, other Spanish-speaking countries and in the USA. They especially benefit children of rural or low-income backgrounds who may not have exposure to job possibilities. Photos of two adorable children "at work" in some 44 occupations; simple definitions of these occupations; job requirements so children can begin to think about education and preparation; and suggestions for parents or educators for using the books are included. The little boy and little girl do the same jobs. Written by an emeritus professor of education with photographs by a retired kindergarten teacher who has focused on photography the last 10 years, the books are useful and educational as well as charming, with lots of material for play and discussion. Small children can easily pick up words in English or Spanish and can have the fun of becoming bilingual. Their little brains are wired to learn languages! We suggest purchasing the set of all six books and making or finding costumes to support young children's play in being a firefighter, doctor, auto mechanic, or artist (among others). Because little kids want to imitate grown ups, these books should be very useful in the preschool or kindergarten setting in stimulating dreams and possibilities and in playing out roles of working adults. Espa???ol Cuando los ni???os peque???os se ponen un par de botas m???gicas, ???pueden ser lo que imaginan o quieren ser! Este libro y sus cinco libros complementarios (3 para Martin, 3 para Miranda) son biling???es (ingl???s y espa???ol), en el contexto mexicano. Los libros fueron escritos para desarrollar aspiraciones ocupacionales en ni???os peque???os de entre 2 y 6 a???os, en M???xico, otros pa???ses de habla hispa???ol y en los Estados Unidos. Especialmente benefician a los ni???os de origen rural o de bajos ingresos que pueden no estar expuestos a las posibilidades laborales. Fotos de dos adorables ni???os "en el trabajo" en unas 44 ocupaciones; definiciones simples de estas ocupaciones; requisitos de trabajo para que los ni???os puedan comenzar a pensar en la educaci???n y la preparaci???n; y sugerencias para padres o educadores para usar los libros est???n incluidos. El ni???ito y la ni???ita hacen los mismos trabajos. Escrito por un profesor em???rito de educaci???n con fotograf???as de una maestra de kinder jubilada que se ha enfocado en la fotograf???a en los ???ltimos 10 a???os, los libros son ???tiles, educativos y encantadores, con mucho material para jugar y discutir. Los ni???os peque???os pueden recoger f???cilmente las palabras en ingl???s o espa???ol y pueden tener la diversi???n de ser biling???es. ???Sus peque???os cerebros est???n conectados para aprender idiomas! Sugerimos comprar el conjunto de los seis libros y hacer o encontrar disfraces para apoyar el juego de ni???os peque???os como bombero, m???dico, mec???nico de autom???viles o artista (entre otros). Debido a que los ni???os peque???os quieren imitar a los adultos, estos libros deber???an ser muy ???tiles en el entorno de preescolar o jard???n de infantes para estimular los sue???os y las posibilidades, y para interpretar los roles de los adultos que trabajan.
