Great book to compare and contrast with the Three Little Pigs! Full of fun and great connections with Hispanic culture.
We read it aloud while waiting on our tamales! :)

Growing Up with Tamales/Los Tamales de Ana by Gwendolyn Zepeda
5.0
It was wonderful to read this book to our second grade class. We had a student in the group who helps her mom every weekend to make tamales for her to sell. She was so excited to share her own experiences like the character in the book. After reading the book, this student showed the class how to make tamales using all the ingredients dictated in the text!
My Shoes and I by Fabricio Vanden Broeck, Rene Colato Lainez
5.0
Wonderful book sharing the experience a child goes through while crossing Guatemala, and Mexico to get to the USA to meet with his mother.
After we finished the book, we shared how family members might've come to the USA. Many students expressed how some family members and/or themselves have had the same experience!

Emmanuel's Dream: The True Story of Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah by Laurie Ann Thompson
This book is amazing! I love how Emmanuel teaches us that there are no limits to our dreams! Amazing how what was meant to be an obstacle for success ended up being a stepping stone for greatness!
The Living by Matt de la Peña
4.0
Most amazing. Most interesting story! Great combination of suspense and terror! Can't wait to read "the Hunted"
The Hunted by Matt de la Peña
5.0
I wish I didn't read this book as fast as I did! Every page is full of excitement and anticipation as to what was going to happen to Shy and Carmen.. I do recommend reading "The Living" before reading "The Hunted". Everything would make more sense if you had learned about what happened on the cruise.
Just like some other reviewers...I am a little confused about the ending. I guess it is up to the readers imagination. Would there be another book added to this sequel?!? I'll sure be looking for it Matt De la Pena!! :)
I am truly recommend this sequel to teens and also adults. Its an easy read and so full of excitement!
