AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Lia and Luis, two Brazilian children have received a mystery puzzle in the mail from Vovo, their Grandmother in Brazil. The children study the pieces to see how the puzzle works. They use math skills, specifically spatial relationships and sorting, to put the puzzle together. Lia and Luis work together to decipher Vovo’s message.
Lia & Luis is a charming and colorful story that helps teach math skills. Part of the text is in Portuguese and English and the concept of the children working together to figure out the secret message is a double asset in Puzzled. Medeiros’s illustrations are simple and realistic, readers can imagine themselves working a puzzle just like the characters. Lia & Luis would be a great gift for young readers, perfect for daycare and Kindergarten through second grade. The main characters are Brazilian.
