ABeCedarios: Mexican Folk Art ABCs in English and Spanish (English and Spanish Edition)
Grade 2–4—Mexican folk-art figures are the focus of this colorful alphabet book. Each page presents a small Oaxacan woodcarving of an animal done in a rainbow of colors. The only text is the animals' names in Spanish and in English. For example, "the Dolphin/el Delfín"; "the Elephant/el Elefante." The sculpted figures display personality and enough vibrant energy to leap off the pages. Unusual or rare creatures—a hybrid Zedonk, a unicorn, and imaginary "X" animal—appear as examples in whimsical colors and imaginative patterns. An attractive choice for folk-art study or libraries with large collections of artistic ABC books.—Mary Elam, Forman Elementary School, Plano, TXCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
