A testament to the comforting power of an animal's love. The
uncomplicated love and dedication of a dog can make anyone feel
better-particularly a child who is small and vulnerable. Through
beautiful, simple illustrations and words, The Dog shows how one
animal helps a young boy who is ill. She is his comfort, his
companion, and his friend; when he's unhappy, she places her paw on
his hand to show him she's there. The Dog is a story for young
children, and for anyone who has ever owned a pet. But most of all,
it shows how important animal companionship is for children. The
warmth of animal friends helps make life worth living, especially
when times are tough.
Guacamole is the third title of Jorge Argueta's popular bilingual
Cooking Poems series, celebrating the joys of preparing, eating and
sharing food. Now available in paperback, Guacamole is the third
title of Jorge Argueta’s popular bilingual Cooking Poems series,
celebrating the joys of preparing, eating and sharing food.
Guacamole originated in Mexico with the Aztecs and has long been
popular in North America, especially in recent years due to the
many health benefits of avocados. This version of the recipe is
easy to make, calling for just avocados, limes, cilantro and salt.
A little girl dons her apron, singing and dancing around the
kitchen as she shows us what to do. Poet Jorge Argueta sees beauty,
magic and fun in everything around him — avocados are like green
precious stones, salt falls like rain, cilantro looks like a little
tree and the spoon that scoops the avocado from its skin is like a
tractor. As in all the titles in this series, Guacamole conveys the
pleasure of making something delicious to eat for people you really
love. A great book for families to enjoy together. Correlates to
