A cultural find!,
This review is from: Trouble Dolls: Chase Your Cares Away with These Six Handmade Dolls! with Doll (Paperback)
As an parent of a child who was adopted from Guatemala, I try to collect things that represent her birth country. When my 8 year old daughter came home from school with the Scholastic Book order form I was amazed to see "Trouble Dolls, A Guatemalan Legend". Surprisingly, the book is more than I imagined. There are 64 4" x 4" pages with beautiful, brightly colored illustrations reflecting Mayan weavings and life. The content is varied and comprehensive for a book it's size and includes unusual topics not found in other children's books that cover the same subject. Topics include: a pronunciation guide for speaking Maya, Guatemalan social customs, a typical Guatemalan menu, including Guatemalan hot chocolate and how to carry your school books Guatemalan style! Of course, the legend of the Trouble Dolls and four different ways to use them is included! This book has become one of my daughter's favorites that she proudly shares with her friends. They, too, have become fans of the book and have since ordered it themselves. It's a must have for any child from Latin America, particularly Guatemala, and for others interested in our cultural world.
