4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and well done, March 24, 2006

By 

MamaK (NW Indiana) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guatemala ABCs: A Book About the People And Places of Guatemala (Country Abcs) (Library Binding)

I got this book as both an ABC book and as an informational book for my Guatemalan-born kids. Overall, I find it interesting and well done.

The thing that keeps me from giving it 5-stars is that it gives phonetic spellings for words like "Hola" and "tortilla" but not "Kinich Ahau" or "Tikal". That would have been helpful!

It is written for an older child, but we will use it as an ABC book until the kids can read it themselves.

I absolutely think you should have this book as part of your collection. The pictures come to life along with the description. The wording is simple and sweet. I am a first grade teacher and taught using this book. All my students enjoyed the memory this book brings to life. Vivid pictures and colors are an absolute gift from the artist.

As a mother to 5 Guatemalan children we found this book a great way to introduce children to Guatemala. Simple format and illustrations provided a good starting point for further talks about our children's culture and history.
