Must Have For the Classroom, Jun 19 2008
By Dot Cobb - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Growing Up with Tamales/Los Tamales de Ana (Hardcover)
Excellent! I read this book to more than 70 elementary students (preschool through 6th grade - many with language and reading weaknesses. My students were glued to the story and beautiful illustrations! Written in both English and Spanish, this book is a great way to bring culture to the classroom. It also serves as a learning tool to help children think about their own goals and desires.

Another great book from Gwendolyn Zepeda, May 30 2008
By Leticia D. Manzano - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Growing Up with Tamales/Los Tamales de Ana (Hardcover)
I have been following Gwendolyn Zepeda's writing for quite a number of years and ordered her new book, Growing Up with Tamales, as soon as it became available on Amazon. The five month wait was worth it!
I ordered a second copy for my niece who teaches a dual language kindergarten classroom because finding such wonderful books to teach with is difficult. I'm sure Growing Up with Tamales will become a favorite at Sheldon ISD as it has in my home.

I love this book!, May 21 2008
By D. Lam - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Growing Up with Tamales/Los Tamales de Ana (Hardcover)
This isn't your run-of-the-mill picture book. Gwen gives the character, Ana, an inspiring personality that kids can look up to.
We all know of the story of a younger sibling who wants to be just like their older brother/sister. This tale of Ana following in her older sister's footsteps, as she learns more about making tamales, gives the reader a sense of ambition that makes it a joy to read.
I recently saw Gwen at an event, reading this book to a group of elementary students and their reactions were very delightful. I witnessed the kids connecting with the character and being able to relate to, "wishing they were older," in order to experience something more grown up.
The illustrations have a unique personality about them that doesn't immediately scream out "kids book," but has an artistic quality that makes you want to find out what happens next.
This book would be great for any child, as the story is so relatable.
Listmania!
