Excellent for Classroom!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
If you know Soto's work, then you can rest assured this is another excellent example of the magic he creates with the written word. The Hispanic family is representative of the culture and values. Fifth graders (even though the reading level is lower) in my classroom, and especially my ESL students, enjoy the book. Soto has packed the book with colorful similies and this lends well for Writing Worshop.
