Fiesta Fiasco

This book is about a snake who's having a birthday party! His friends don't know what to buy him so the rabbit tells them what to buy and ends up taking all the presents himself! They kick him out of the party and he comes back a while later with real presents. Everyone forgives him and they continue to party!

This would be a good book for a classroom with ELL students! It has some words in Spanish that they could teach to everyone else! The story also teaches kids not to be selfish, and to be more giving!

Not as good as some of the other books about these four friends, but still fun for fans of the characters. This could have benefitted from some more spot illustrations to clarify the Spanish vocabulary that's interspersed (in one illustrations a tazon is mentioned as part of the story, but not pictured). The illustrations are the same throughout this series, so see my review of Tortuga in Trouble for my thoughts on them. As an added note though, I love the way Long draws the sun.

Read with O on Reading Rainbow app. The introduction of a few Spanish words is likely the best thing about this rather boring tales.
