The big box has arrived, and Elena is so excited! Tent parts fly everywhere as she empties the contents and dives right in. This job will be done in no time! GA-BUNK! Oops! Elena forgot the poles! Now it’s under control . . . GA-BAM! A little tug here might help . . . GA-BOING! Now Elena is stomping mad! What’s that her bird buddy’s saying? Something about that folded paper that came with the tent? In a charmingly comic follow-up to Elena Rides, the determined elephant shows young fans that some things are hard—and some tents cow the best of campers—but with patience you can conquer them, if you slow down and try, try again. This dual-language edition contains the story in both English and Spanish: read it from the Elena Camps side for the English text, then flip the book over to the Elena va a acampar side to read it in Spanish.
Juana Medina is the Pura Belpré Author Award–winning creator of the Juana & Lucas series and other books for children and the recipient of two International Latino Book Awards. She was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, and currently lives in northern Virginia with her family.
The pitch-perfect Spanish/English dual-language edition will resonate with almost-independent readers who are still learning to manage their big emotions and are ready to graduate from Mo Willems’s Elephant and Piggie. —School Library Journal
