A funny series about an endearing marmot that reads with English on the left page, Spanish on the right.
For older kids: 8 years and up.
A good resource for bilingual families (grandparents/parents/guardians can read side by side with their children). Great for reading out loud practice, listening to pronunciation, and learning new vocabulary.
Follow Magali and her animal friends on their crazy adventures in the French Alps!
Magali and her friends fall off the side of the mountain and land by a river where rafters race by at crazy speeds. Enthralled, the animal friends make a pact to take learn how to river raft!
The marmot is the only one who is hesitant. She's not even sure she can swim. Plus, she's not allowed out at night.
With reluctant Magali in tow, the excited friends start training each night. One night, they meet a boar who claims to be the fastest rafter on the river. He says he's the champion. That's a challenge, right?
Will Magali step up for Race Night and help her friends beat the arrogant boar and take the win?
The series is about making new friends, trusting gut instinct, trying new activities, and learning about teamwork.

Al caer desde lo alto de la montaña, Magali y sus amigos aterrizan cerca de un río por el que pasan balseros a una velocidad frenética. Impresionados, los amigos hacen un pacto para aprender a hacer rafting.
Magali es la única que duda.
El entusiástico grupo empieza a entrenarse todas las noches, acompañados por la reticente marmota. Entonces, conocen a un jabalí que afirma ser el balsero más rápido del río. Dice que es el campeón.
¡Vaya, qué desafío!
¿Aceptará Magali ayudar a sus amigos a vencer al jabalí la noche de la gran competición? Ni siquiera está segura de saber nadar, ¡y además no le permiten salir de noche!
