Las tortillas del burro (Burro´s Tortillas) - Terri Fields

What do you get when you cross The Little Red Hen with a burro and his friends? Burro's Tortillas! In this humorous Southwestern retelling of a childhood favorite, Burro finds it difficult to get any help from his friends as he diligently works to turn corn into tortillas. Young children will love the repetition; older children will enjoy the book's many puns. In addition to its Southwestern "flavor," the delightful story imparts an accurate picture of the traditional way that tortillas are made. A Spanish/English glossary and a simple recipe for making tortillas are included in the "For Creative Minds" section. I always learn many things when reading Sylvan Dell books and this one was no exception. It is sprinkled with Spanish words and there is a Spanish/English vocabulary section in the back of the book. "For Creative Minds" features interesting facts about corn. The history of corn along with a recipe how to make eight tortillas is featured on the last page. Make a batch and enjoy! -Shirley LaBusier Sylvan Dell is a publisher of illustrated children's books, but we are also a serious education company committed to making a difference in literacy, language, and cross-curricular learning. We believe that you use fiction picturebooks as a tee-up to get children reading and peak their interest in a subject, then you burrow in and teach the non-fiction components that we make freely available. We offer teachers and parents a Science and Math Through Literature Program that is fun, cross-curricular, and high tech. It seamlessly integrates reading, science, math, geography, character skills, and language learning.
