A story on the elements that make guacamole. Translated in both English and Spanish. The use of illustrations that show each ingredient while it is being spoken of. The descriptive text can help students when they write stories because it tells many details of each ingredient. This can also be used as a cook book if you want to make guacamole. ( )

It tells the story in English and translates on the same page in Spanish. It describes the intricacies that guacamole posses. It goes through each ingredient and uses figurative language to describe it. This would be good to help students learn how to be more descriptive in their writing. ( )

This is a cute read for young readers! This poetry book about cooking is great for all readers, but also ESL readers and for units about Spanish and other cultures. The main words are in Spanish, but you will find that the words are also in English under the Spanish text. I love that the text tells of a little girl making guacamole and tells the instructions of how to make it. To incorporate this story into the classroom the teacher could make guacamole in the classroom following the directions in the text. ( )
