This book was easy to follow and very rich in culture. These kids enjoy being in the Mexican market and searching for gifts to give their mother for her birthday. Every other page in the book rhymed and included a pronunciation guide in the back for the readers that are not very fluent in Spanish. I enjoyed being able to read both languages which could also help children learn their basic numbers.The vivid illustrations also brought this story to life. ( )

This book is about counting to ten in both English and Spanish. I liked the book because it shows you both translations, it's very simple and easy to learn, and the illustrations are very rich in culture. I also liked how in the back of the book they show you the pronuciation for the numbers. It's a great tool for teaching Pre-K/Kindergarteners their numbers in Spanish. They can see the numbers and the words in both languages. ( )

Great book to teach Spanish numbers. The book goes back and forth between Spanish and English numbers so that they are easier to learn which numbers correspond to the other. The author also includes some rhyming which can add to the learning aspect of the numbers. ( )

Personal Response:
This story is mostly in English, the only Spanish being the counting. This book offers simple text and I appreciate the repetition of the numbers and the corresponding illustrations so that children can easily understand and follow along with the progression of numbers. I also like the pronunciation guide at the end of the story.

Curricular Connections:
This story could be included in any counting/math story time. ( )
