review 1: The really enjoyed that this book was bilingual it's a great way to get children exposed to simple Spanish words in a fun and easy way. I thought it was really great that all the animals wanted to help because then that could teach children about sharing what you have. I also liked how the end of the story gave you the recipe for arroz con leche which could be made as a class one day. I would definitely use this book in my future classroom because I can just see many lessons that could be made through this book.
review 2: This is a very colorful and appealing book. The illustrated cover is a perfect setup for the pictures within the text. This texts tells the story of a woman who makes arroz con leche. She takes us through the steps of preparation, starting ... morewhere things came from and what is required. Each page incorporates the previous page's text and includes key words in Spanish that were originally stated in English. This is a great way to incorporate key words in Spanish while still telling a story in English. While there is a glossary in the back of the book, if you pay attention to the story it is possible to translate the Spanish words because they always appear in English on the previous page.The story is simple to follow, with no complex plot. This would be a good story for kindergarteners and first graders. They can learn the steps to following a recipe and also learn some Spanish words. I think this would also be a great book for kids to relate to who eat arroz con leche as they would be familiar with the food and the preparation process. less
