Rainy Saturday mornings are special in this family's house because Mama takes out her special soup pot. When the tall, dark soup pot arrives, they know that it will be a caldo (soup) day. Mama's savory soup is sure to cure any ailment and warm even the coldest of eaters. Join the family as they gather and combine the special soup ingredients and anticipate the taste of the finished product. The text is written in English at the top of the page and Spanish on the bottom. The story is filled with rich Spanish traditions and a beautiful mixture of the English and Spanish languages. The bright illustrations are helpful in setting the mood of the festivities. This book would be a perfect addition to a social studies curriculum as well as a multicultural language arts program. A complete recipe for caldo is included which would make a great follow-up activity. 1996, Pinata Books, $14.95. Ages 6 to 9. Subjects:
- Soups--Fiction.
Tortillas--Fiction.
