"Que pasa?" she wonders. "I'm the only one in costume!"

Amelia is excited the first day in her new American classroom, with friends to meet and a teacher who announces that tomorrow is Show and Tell. All the way home, Amelia tries to decide what will be appropriate for the assignment and finally she settles on her fiesta dress with its three fancy skirts: "First rojo whips around her hips like red hot peppers; Amarillo swirls about her knees like a sea of yellow corn; Blanco circles her feet like a flock of white doves." Dressed the next morning in her fiesta finery, Amelia cannot wait to show her class the dress; but when she enters the classroom, no one is dressed up. The students all look the same as yesterday and here is Amelia, so different from everyone else.

When another little girl asks what Amelia has brought for Show and Tell, she points to a large basket on the teacher's desk filled with treasures: a clay elephant from India, a handmade truck and a carp-shaped kite. Called upon to share, Amelia has nothing to say,... read more

Perfect for youngsters learning Spanish (or English!)

By Jean Griswold "jgriswoldnc" - August 27, 2006

My first grade granddaugther is studying Spanish as part of her school curriculum. We found this book at the library this summer and she LOVED it! We're now buying it for her first grade classroom's library. The kids really like having the English/Spanish translations on each page (that's also easier for the reader), and the story line is both fun and hits close to home as school starts and there are "new kids" in the classroom who weren't there last year.
