Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Cousins are friends and rivals. Cousins are funny and frustrating. But the most important thing is that cousins are family. We are Cousins / Somos primos celebrates the joy of this special family bond.

The children explain that they are cousins because their mothers are sisters, and from the moment they get together, the fun begins. They march in a make-believe parade, gobble up a pizza, and share a cozy story on Abuelo's lap. But they also blame each other if something goes wrong, don't want to share their toys, and wiggle against each other to nab a spot on Abuela's lap.

Written in simple language for children ages 2-5, the brief English and Spanish text will become a valuable tool to encourage children to think and talk about their own families. It will also become a favorite book for children and grandchildren to share with their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and of course, cousins.

Vivid illustrations by Christina Rodriguez in bright, primary colors complement this story that will be as much fun to read at story hour as it will be to read on the family sofa.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great illustrations, fun story, September 7, 2008
I bought this book for my niece and nephews, after telling them that they are going to be cousins this winter. They LOVED it. The 6 year old is very interested in Spanish, so it was perfect. She is also learning to read, and will soon be able to read this in English and Spanish. Both she and her brothers loved the pictures and picked out who they were in the pictures, and who the new babies would be (their other Aunt is also expecting). We are not Latino, but this book is universal. I think anyone who has taked high school Spanish will be able to read the Spanish portions of this book. I highly recommend it!
