Tuguita Tere: A Home for My Books

Join Tuguita Tere (too-gee-ta-teh-reh) on her quest for a library card, her passport to adventure.

Tuguita Tere the turtle leads a fascinating life. On one day she dances with ballerinas on stage and on the next she searches for treasure in jungle ruins. In between she explores a planet in her custom made rover. With the right book in her hands, she can do anything she wants to do.

In this Frijolitos book, children are introduced to Tuguita Tere, the story-time tortuga (turtle) who, along with her furry and fine feathered friends, discovers the genuine joys of reading at her local library.

We adore Tuguita Tere and cannot wait to see her plush toy when it arrives. In the meantime, have fun with her first book. Check out Tuguita Tere's birthday song "Las Mananitas." in the center of the book.
