This Spanish hardcover edition with audio CD features a spirited narration of voice-over artist extraordinaire Arturo Castilla, with Swedish fiddling and sound effects that will enthrall Spanish speakers ages 4 and up. Designed to give Spanish speakers a taste of Scandinavia, Superabuelo relates the true story of a 66-year old cyclist who, in 1951, competed in the Tour of Sweden, pedaled 1,600 miles and, to the delight of his countrymen, finished first. This classic story has inspired generations to stay physically fit and pursue their dreams.
