From celebrated author Alma Flor Ada, the strength of this book is in its two-part presentation. In the first part we follow a fictional elementary class as they sing and dance the Mexican hat dance for their Cinco de Mayo celebration. In the second part, real-life photographs and informative text answer the question, “¿Qué es el Cinco de Mayo?” The combination of the two parts makes learning about Cinco de Mayo fun and relevant for children. Accompanies Lesson 33 of Sonrisas Level I and Lesson 5 of Sonrisas Cultural Curriculum. (8 x 10)
