review 1: The book Tia Isa Wants a Car by Meg Medina serves as a good book to read in classroom which include Spanish speaking students. The book is primarily in English, but contains some words in Spanish. Students who are biligual in Spanish and English can read this book alone or with assistance. The book also depicts family structures of Hispanic cultures. This book can be used in Kindergarten-2 grade classrooms.
review 2: While saving money to bring the rest of their family to the United States, an aunt longs for a used car to travel to the beach. But the aunt's brother scoffs at the idea of her ever being able to put away enough money to do so. Her niece begins doing all sorts of tasks to help her reach her goal. Once they have sufficient savings, they purchase a g... morereen car that is big enough to take the whole family wherever they want to go. The story's reminder that some things are worth the wait and that dreams aren't ridiculous is a positive one. The pencil, watercolor, and ink illustrations are rendered in soft colors, lending an appropriately sentimental quality to a story that reminds readers of the freedom a car of one's own affords. less
