El Perro Perezoso y el Zorro Rapido: Una Aventura del Laberinto de la Acción en Color Todo-cromático (Spanish Edition)
El Perro Perezoso y el Zorro Rápido
Los niños encantarán esta aventura del laberinto de la acción basada en el pangram inglés, “el zorro rápido, listo saltan sobre el perro marrón perezoso.” Se utiliza este pangram mientras que una base para extrapolar la historia traza en este libro. Los niños pueden hacer decisiónes en cómo quisieran que la historia revelara. Los puntos emocionales de la inteligencia se conceden basados en sus decisiónes. Los padres apreciarán la escala emocional de la cuenta de la inteligencia que se centra en amistad en el extremo del libro. Un buen ejemplo de una aventura del laberinto de la acción se exhibe en la película “Big” con Tom Hanks como la estrella principal. Había una escena en una sala de reunión en MacMillan Toy Company donde el adulto Josh y Susan presentó una oferta para una versión automatizada de una aventura del laberinto de la acción, un formato de la historia que ha existido en forma del libro en de la vida real para las edades antes del comenzar de esta película. Es irónico que el autor ha hecho el contrario, primero componiendo una aventura del laberinto de la acción en un blog en línea, y después convirtiéndola en un libro.

The Lazy Dog and the Quick Fox: An Action Maze Adventure In Holochromatic Color
The Lazy Dog and the Quick Fox
Children will delight in this action maze adventure based on the English pangram, "The quick sly fox jumps over the lazy brown dog." This pangram is used as a basis for extrapolating the story plots in this book. Children can make choices on how they want the story to unfold. Emotional intelligence points are awarded based on their choices. Parents will appreciate the emotional intelligence score scale focusing on friendship at the end of the book. One good example of an action maze adventure was showcased in the movie "Big" with Tom Hanks as the leading star. There was a scene in a boardroom at MacMillan Toy Company where the adult Josh and Susan presented a proposal for a computerized version of an action maze adventure, a story format that has existed in paperback form in real life for ages prior to this movie's debut. It is ironic that the author has done the opposite, first by composing an action maze adventure in an online blog, and then converting it into a book.
