Fiesta Babies by Carmen Tafolla; illustrated by Amy Cordova

[Pura Belpre Pick]



Fiesta Babies is a pithy, fun story about babies who "go out on the town" and participate in various activities, such as eating, singing, and giving hugs. What I love about this book is Cordova's vibrant, colorful illustrations that make every page fun. Also, nearly every page has a new Spanish word to learn; i.e., salsa, coronas, abrazo, and beso. Tafolla has included a Spanish-English glossary in the back of the book. We read this book to our bilingual kindergarten classes and they enjoyed it.
