(4) 1-3 Martha Speaks series. Adapted by Jamie White. Written by Pippin Parker and Silvia Olivas. In this chapter-book adaptation of a TV-series teleplay, talking dog Martha becomes a substitute teacher at Wagstaff Elementary. When Helen's friend Alice must complete an oral report in Spanish class, Martha eats Mexican alphabet soup and becomes fluent. Contrived inclusion of Spanish phrases take over the story, but bilingual fans of the chatty canine won't mind. English and Spanish glossaries included.
