Guest blogger Niko read this book and says:<br />
<br />
"Este libro se trata de dos loros que no les gusta vivir en una jaula. Los dos loros se encuentran, pero no estan felices y se quitan sus plumas. Es muy triste, pero es un libro interesante. Es bueno para ninos en kinder, primer grado, y segundo grado."<br />
<br />
A good book to use for talking to kids about animal rights, humane treatment of pets, and Puerto Rico. </div>MisCositashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15835599463966042587noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901998122953255356.post-64730352453289167302011-08-04T14:07:00.000-04:002011-08-04T14:07:26.758-04:00Picturebook: Fiesta Fememina by Mary-Joan Gerson<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span closure_uid_4nka6l="130"><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=widgetsamazon-20&o=1&p=8&l=bpl&asins=1841483656&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&m=amazon&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="align: left; height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"></iframe> <div closure_uid_4nka6l="124"><em>Fiesta Fememina</em> by Mary-Joan Gerson, illustrations by Maya Christina Gonzalez</div><div closure_uid_4nka6l="124"><br />
</div><div closure_uid_4nka6l="124">Several years ago, I read a copy of this wonderful book in English and enjoyed the variety of stories and legends. I recently had the opportunity to read the Spanish version and loved it even more! With delightful and whimsical illustrations and stories from all over the Mexico, it is an excellent addition to a thematic unit on folktales, Mexico or the role of women in Latin America. The language is poetic and lyrical - thus probably best suited for intermediate and advanced students of Spanish. But, if you're creative, you could use this excellent book as a resource and re-write the stories into simplified language for elementary and FLES students. Stories include: Rosha y el Sol, La diosa hambrienta, La leyenda de Tangu Yuh, Por que la Luna es libre, Verde Ave, Blancaflor, La Virgen de Guadalupe and Malintizin de la Montana. </div></span></div>MisCositashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15835599463966042587noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901998122953255356.post-14066391224415543222011-06-22T16:56:00.000-04:002011-06-22T16:56:58.913-04:00Issuu book: Zapato busca dueño (wordless picturebook)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; white-space: pre;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Zapato busca dueñ</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">o is a wordless picturebook by Alejandra Viacava.

The message is a nice one (about cooperation and friendship) and the illustrations are fun. The text is a bit advanced for beginners - probably better suited for interemediate learners. Fun! <br />
