I would love to see this in Spanish! The monolingual English classrooms always had cutesy ways of helping their students remember the difference between peRIMeter and area. I finally came up with área=alfombra and perímetro=paredes. Not super cute but it worked for my second and third graders!

It is, Dariela! Enjoy...

I am always excited to hear about books like these! This one is new to me but reminds me of the book Those Shoes by Maribeth Boelts. Unfortunately, I don't think Those Shoes is available in Spanish but it would make a great companion book for discussion paired with this one.

Please let us know when we can get the Hola Mar book. My boys love that one! I am ordering El Loro Tico Tango tonight. Thanks for the recommendation. I love audio books too!

Hola Monica! Thanks so much for this beautiful review. Brian had such fun composing the music in English and Spanish for this book! Those harmonies that accompany his voice are our family's. We all had a blast!

We are grateful that you are including us so often on your fantastic blog. Your vibrant energy and clear commitment to writing thoughtful reviews is crystal clear. We're honored.

By the way, stay tuned for the next audio book, narrated by our daughter Sonia Amador, called "Hola Mar/Hello Ocean", to be published by Live Oak Media, in a few months.

De todo corazón,
Rosi & Brian

I think a lot of Latina moms have the same concerns, we just need to voice them so that we all know we are not alone. Thanks, Cristina!

Thanks for the great resource links.

Regarding the US educational system, I feel it's the greatest stupidity for people who want to receive an education to better themselves to be forced into dept. And you are so right, eliminating grants like that stifles the Latino community from growing and improving. I can't understand why anyone would not want a country full of intellectuals to make it succeed.
