Dear Friends, 
 
Today Juan Carlos Pinilla and I are releasing our second children’s book, Mundo de pan.
 
At only 33 unique words, it's one of the most accessible books on the market for Spanish students.

Mundo de pan is wonderfully short. It's short enough, in fact, that many of your students will be able to read it cover-to-cover in 5 to 10 minutes.
 
Our students need these small wins. They need the experience of reading an entire story within the limited time available in a class period.
 
Here's a very short video of me showcasing the book and saying some words!
 
A video of Jim Wooldridge sharing the new book, Mundo de Pan.
What is the book about?
 
In this beautifully illustrated, full-color hardcover children's book, Bo and his friends are trying to find bread. Unfortunately, they keep looking in all the wrong places. Now Bo has a crazy idea that might finally get them what they’ve been looking for.
 
Bo stands in front of a Sushi restaurant, saying "Amigos, ¡hoy comemos pan!".
Does the book require prior knowledge of any Wooly stories?
 
Mundo de pan takes place immediately after the music video ¡PAN!, but it was written to function as a standalone story. Students do not need to have seen the original video in order to enjoy the book.
 
Is this book available digitally?
No, the only way to read it is by purchasing a physical copy of this book. It is not available through a Wooly license.
 
Bo and friends pass a sandwich shop. Roger says, "¿Vamos al restaurante de sándwiches?" and Bo responds, "No, no tienen pan."
What age group is it appropriate for?
Although Mundo de pan is technically a "children's book", it was still written with our typical Wooly audience in mind. The humor will appeal to all ages.
