High School Spanish teacher Sherry Radford created El Sábado de Inkie (Inkie's Saturday) for her first-year Spanish students. Filled with present tense verbs, the book labels each word with its part of speech showing how every word in a sentence has a role to play. Follow mischievous Inkie the kitten as he makes a great escape one Saturday. The outside beckons, and little Inkie's big adventure begins. His escapade is thrilling, and he has the time of his life. When the playful day turns confusing and frightening, Inkie is overwhelmed with his freedom. Suddenly, he longs for the safety and comfort of his home inside. El Sábado de Inkie is a clever combination of a delightful story with a learning tool. Readers will delight with the antics of playful Inkie whose curiosity leads him to one unforgettable afternoon. Sherry Radford lives in Chula Vista, California with Inkie, two other cats, a dog and a hamster, who are all entertaining and have stories to "tell." Besides English and Spanish, she is fluent in German (her native language). She has also studied French, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese.
