Book Fiesta

Pura Belpre Award
Author: Pat Mora  Illustrator: Rafael Lopez


Grade Level: Prek- 3rd Grade


Summary: Book Fiesta is a bilingual picture book celebrating Children’s Day and Book Day. The book shows different activities for kids to do to get them excited about books!

Read Aloud:  I would read the entire book out loud because it is short and introduces children to the opportunities of books.

Classroom Uses:
·         Encourage students to enjoy books in many different locations just like in the book.
·         Use as an introduction to Pat Mora, who founded Children’s Day/Book Day.

ESOL Strategies:
·         Use the Spanish words to recognize the English words for Spanish speakers.
·         Make a list of the activities from the book they have seen others doing.

Personal Opinion: I thought this was a very cute and to the point children’s book with beautiful illustrations!
