"A young kid's exciting cable-car ride forms the drama in this lively picture book . . . sprinkled with Spanish words."--BOOKLIST (Ages 4-9) Today is the day! Finally Roberto will take his trip on the teleferico to the top of El Avila, the mountain overlooking his village. Since Papa has to work, Tio Antonio will go with his nephew, who makes sure to pack his camera so he can share the sights later with Papa. Up, up, the cable car goes, over gasp-inducing ravines, to an exciting new world of vendors, animals, and a spectacular view of Caracas below. Beautifully illustrated and offering a Spanish-English glossary at the end, here is a warmhearted tale of a little boy's first big adventure without his parents.
