This book is great! I highly recommend it for teachers looking for resources to teach Mexico! It is suitable for 1st-5th grades (yes, it spans that many!) It's packed with information as well as hands-on activities your students can actively engage in and learn! Excellent!

I bought this book because I teach Spanish to preschoolers and I'm always looking for more resources. It is best for older children, 1st-5th grades. I got it because I was interested in the information myself and figure the teacher can never be too well informed! It is like an encyclopedia on México. A bit of information on a variety of topics. It leaves me wanting to find out more!

After looking at many books to get ideas and information for teaching a week-long study on Mexico to elementary age students, I found this to be the very best one around. It is practical and gives great, kid-focused information on Mexican history, language, families, food, music, crafts, religion and more. A real treasure! Cindy in Charlotte NC

My child had a Mexican Theme Hispanic Party and this book was very helpful. Easy projects to do it turned out great

My 3rd Grader is studying Mexico this year and I purchased this book to help. I tried other books (Mexico: A True Book (True Books: Countries) which provided more facts but this one was an excellent blend of history and related activities. It contains plenty of interesting facts about Mexico ( boys love the blood curdling Aztec & Mayan sections) but this book shines as a cultural map for young children. It provides several activities including crafts and cooking to introduce them to Mexican culture. All of the activities are easy enough for 3-5 Graders and the directions were okay to follow. I love how this book brings Mexico alive for younger students - they loved making traditional crafts!

I would highly recommend this for teachers, parents and class moms for some great ideas. Kaleidoscope Kids puts out a great line of books covering several cultures. I only wish they expanded this line of books.

I just got the book and I'm already using it a lot in my classes. Has lots of great ideas and good historical information.
