This book is great for students at a beginner or intermediate reading level. It is about a cat named Chato and his friend Navio Boy, who live together. A family of mice moves in next door, and the cats invite them over for dinner, where they plan traditional Mexican foods such as rice, beans, enchiladas, frijoles, fajitas, and salsa. I would introduce this book to my classroom as a fun read-aloud for my students to learn about Mexican food culture. ( )

This book is about a sneaky cat who invites his neighbor mice over for dinner. The pictures on each page are full of details that add to the words on the pages. Children will delight in predicting what is going to happen when Chorizo the dog joins the cat and the mice for dinner. The book won the Pura Belpre award for illustrations.

Even when Chato thinks he's on the top of the heap, there's always someone to put him back in his place. Chato, an East L.A. cat, is quick to invite his new and perceivable tasty mice neighbors over for dinner, but when Papi mouse asks to bring his friend, Chorizo to dinner, the dining tables are flipped on Chato and his sidekick Novio Boy. Cats like mice, but cats don't like dogs. ( )

This is a fun multilingual picture book for children. It has great illustrations and it also features different latin foods and vibrant images. ( )

This book is about two cats named Chato and his friend Novio, who reside in a neighborhood filled with tasty mice. Chato the cat invites five mice over to his house for dinner and prepares the food all day with the help from Novio. The family of mice agree to come, but they inform Chato they will be bringing another guest to accompany them. Chato rejoices at the thought of having six mice in his house, but he quickly learns that the mice have a trick up their sleeve!

This bilingual book is a Pura Belpre Award winner and would be great to use as an example of predicting and to incorporate bilingualism into the classroom. The colorful pictures capture the reader's attention and the trickery within the story makes it memorable. ( )
