Title: What Can You Do With a Paleta?
Author:Carmen Tafolla and Magaly Morales
Year Published: 2009
Ages: 4-8 years old
Why I chose this book: I am dying to find out what one can do with a paleta! I also would like to know what is a paleta.
Reaction: This vivacious summery fun book was awesome. A paleta is a popsicle, well not just any popsicle, it's a Latin American frozen treat, made with fruit. Some say it is an intensely awesome fruit flavor that hits you in the face when you take a bite. I have yet to try a paleta, but with summer right around the corner, I'm hoping I will have plenty of opportunities to test them out.
The colors in this book are so inviting and friendly. Those who have been to Mexico say the illustrations feel like Mexico. Again, something I hope to experience soon.
I can absolutely see this book being used in classrooms to bridge cultural gaps. Who doesn't love a popsicle or excuse me a paleta? This could also be an engaging introduction into a science lesson. In my opinion this is a great authentic read, which speaks the truth about the many creative things you can do with a paleta! Enjoy!
