This book introduces children to learning some Spanish vocabulary for the days of the week and for some common animals found in the American Southwest or in parts of Mexico. This book also introduces readers to the Mexican culture and the Spanish terms that can build a child's Spanish vocabulary. It is an excellent book that presents the Mexican culture in a positive way and exhibits how children can work together as well. ( )

Iguana is planning a fiesta, but her lazy trio of friends loses out in this clever update of the story of the Little Red Hen, with a Mexican twist. A glossary of Spanish words is included.
