laivey's review against another edition
2.0
This book seemed just okay to me. It was very useful for language and teaching students Spanish words. It was entertaining and funny, with pretty illustrations. However, the ending was too abrupt. As far as craft, the ending just fell off. It did not conclude the story and almost seemed as if there were pages missing at the end. I wanted to know if the men ever took responsibility for their actions and arguing. This ending was ambiguous as far as craft goes. I do not think that ambiguous endings give me closure and definitely can seem unsettling to children.
The beginning and middle really captivated me and I was let down on the last page. All in all, it's a good book to introduce children to other languages, but isn't a good use to show them how a story should be structured, with beginning, middle and captivating ending.
I could use this in my class to introduce another language and explore which students speak different languages and have them share this with the class. It would be another good way to get to know my students better and for them to make connections and build bonds with each other.
