¿Quién trae el fuego? (Who Brings the Fire?) Written by Carlos Marianidis & illustrated by Gustavo Damiani
On their first camping trip, scouts must make a campfire. Their leader tells them the Aztec legend of Huehuetéotl, the god of fire, and how the salamanders spread fire around the earth. Their trip is also an opportunity to learn about the importance of taking care of nature and animals. Vibrant watercolor illustrations help bring to life this Aztec legend.

¿Quién ganará? La pelea final del océano (Who Would Win? Ultimate Ocean Showdown) Written by Jerry Pallotta & illustrated by Rob Bolster
This installment in the high-interest Who Would Win? series compares and contrasts the physical features and abilities of 16 marine animals— everything from their teeth, fins, and eating habits to their body size, agility, and the size of their brains. The animals are arranged in a hypothetical tournament, and readers use the knowledge they accumulate to guess who they think will win in each battle on their way to find out who would be the most likely victor of the championship match!
