School Library Journal - Ana Rodriguez

Each of these books begins with the simple statement that we are all different. How individuals learn, play, communicate, read, and move are addressed in a straightforward manner answering the what, how, why, and where questions. Aprendemos begins by naming different things children learn like facts and skills, such as swimming and reading. Then it presents the different ways they learn by themselves or in groups; visual, touch, kinesthetic, auditory, and tactile. Jugamos, Comunicamos, Leemos, and Movemos follow the same format. The themes are developed sequentially, making it easy for young children to understand the concepts. The photographs include multicultural youngsters with or without disabilities. They correspond to the texts, providing needed support for young readers. Each book includes suggestions of activities for parents and teachers to do before and after reading the volumes. Useful additions to engage youngsters in conversation about the different topics. Recommended–Ana Rodriguez, Tamarac Elementary School, FL <i> School Library Journal</i>May 2010
