These types of books are my favorite because the story is both in English and Spanish. Readers can get a taste of both worlds and can see how the stories for both languages are written. This book was very good, reminding me of my mother's caldo. Hispanic students may be able to relate to eating this delicious soup as Alexandra, the protagonist, goes through the anticipation of eating her mother's caldo. This story begins by telling the reader about the caldo, and how it is made and what goes in it. As the story goes on, the reader may feel the anticipation that Alexandra is going through. At the end of the story, there is a recipe for making caldo, which may be a great thing to do in a classroom or as a parent.
