Leí ambos versiones de este libro, el inglés y el espanol. Las ilustraciones estan muy bonitas pero la trama no esta muy desarrollada. Aprecio que al fin del cuento hay unas paginas dedicada a contar la historia del Cinco de Mayo.

As a Mexican folk dance instructor and classroom educator, I was hoping for an enriching and engaging story about children dancing. The fictitious story/plot is lacking, and the repetitive parts (song/rhyme) are quite wordy. I did appreciate the non-fiction section at the end of the book that told the history of Cinco de Mayo.

good book

This is a great multicultural book that teaches students the dances that they perform at Cinco de Mayo celebrations. The book also provides background on the holiday.
