review 1: The Cazuela that the Farm Maiden Stirred is a story that is a Mexican version of the story The House that Jack Built. The story is a cumulative story. It is about a farm maiden who is making arroz con leche (a Mexican dessert). The pictures are vibrant, and colorful and will keep the readers engaged. I liked the repetitive notion of the book. It would be a fun read for a class because it repeats words again and again. It is also fun to look at the different culture aspects of the book. The author after the first use of the word changes an English word to the Spanish word. For example the first page of the text says, “This is the pot that the farm maiden stirred.” The next page says: “This is the butter that went into the Cazuela that the farm maiden stirred” the ... morepot was replaced with its Spanish equivalent which is cazuela.” The story builds from there. The next page butter was replaced with mantequilla (which is butter in Spanish). It keeps going until the arroz con leche is made. There is a glossary in the back of the book with all the Spanish words and a recipe for arroz con leche.
review 2: Audience: PrimaryGenre: Realistic Fiction"the cabra gave out spoons, the gallina sang a tune, the pato beat a tambor, the burro plucked a banjo, the vaca shook a maraca, and the campesino and the farm maiden danced..."I chose this quote because I thought this would be a really fun for the kids to imagine the different animals playing the various instruments. This would also be fun for the kids to draw and compare. cabra- goatgallina- henpato- duckburro- donkeyvaca- cowcampesino- farmer less
