Review
¡Todos a Comer! A Mexican Food Alphabet Book is so much fun. It includes one food or dish for each letter of the Spanish alphabet (with the exception of W). The layout of each page consists of a delicious picture with Spanish text on the top and English on the bottom. The photos are colorful and feature some of the most popular dishes in Mexican cuisine. There are history lessons embedded in the short descriptions that will give parents additional topics to discuss. Families with young children should have a growing collection of books at home to be read over and over to their little ones. And for those with children learning to read, a set of alphabet books or abecedarios are a must! They allow children to see how letters are used in different ways and how they make up the basis of our language. Alphabet books develop literacy skills and help prepare children to begin the process of learning to read. So it is imporant to have abecedarios that are fun, colorful, and engaging. ¡Todos a comer! does just that. --Mommy Maestra, blogger
It is important that children of all nationalities learn more about the ingredients and procedures in preparing delicious Mexican dishes. It is also important that Hispanic children, in particular, read more about their culture for a better understanding of the important contributions of their ancestors to the American way of life. In so doing, they will thus gain greater appreciation of their culture and take greater pride in themselves, in their people, and in their history. This alphabet book on Mexican food may be used as a read-aloud or for shared reading as well as for paired or independent reading. Its purpose is twofold: to build background about Mexican food and to provide further discussion or extension of learning. Each food description is followed by a question which may be used to solicit an oral response as part of an oral language discussion or as a written response to the reading. In addition, this book may be also used as a reference source on Mexican food. Most importantly, we hope that this book will be useful for the bilingual classroom and, at the same time, we greatly hope that you will also enjoy it as well. --From the Publisher
