The Cazuela that the Farm Maid Stirred
by Samantha R. Vamos
I love
bilingual books that integrate Spanish words into an English text, and this one
does it extremely well. The story starts out with the "this is the house
that jack built..." construction but varies it at the end in an
interesting way. Rafael López's illustrations are like going to a party -
bright, bold, colorful - joyous. I wanted to dance with la campesina y sus
animales at the end! Lovely book.

Prom and Prejudice
Elizabeth Eulberg
This was a
delight! This is a modern version of 'Pride and Prejudice' set in a fancy prep
school on the east coast. Eulberg does an entertaining job of assigning modern
characters to the "originals" and she hits both the moods and the
class system right on. Terrific!
