5.0 out of 5 stars Fine cause & effect lesson(s) children's book, February 7, 2009
Que Monton de Tamales (Too Many Tamales)
Story is set expertly in Christmas / winter environment. Drawings of characters make them accessible to impressionable 6 to 9 year olds. Both setting and main character's initial behaviors provide plausible, comprehensible justification for the main character's subsequent behavior. Author is wonderfully descriptive. Your children will SEE the precious ring rising and dipping back into the tamale dough, mirroring the blinking holiday lights spectacle that opens the book.
Subsequent events are all ones that your child can identify with as probable under the anxious circumstances that ensue when main character carries the mother-imitation too far.
A grabber for children of all ages, colors, faiths. Nice job Mr. Soto!
PS: when ordering the spanish version, check all product descriptions carefully to avoid getting the english version, and vice-ah versa
