BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
Izzy had a horrible day at school, but she doesn’t want to share with her family. She knows she is always making mistakes with her impulsiveness. As they are cooking tortillas for taco night, her Lito (I think that is her grandfather) coaxes the story out of her and helps her eat her mistakes. Then the whole family joins in, eating their own mistakes.
Teaching children to share their mistakes can be tricky - they are always thinking they will be punished. Seeing mistakes through Izy’s eyes and then having her family talk about their own mistakes can help - especially since Izzy’s story and the “mistaco” eating is so much fun. The illustrative style is not my favorite.
