BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO:SEVERAL
Today is Isabel’s birthday. Isabel tells her mother her birthday wish of a big cake, a big pinata and a big party with all her friends. Her mother tells her that this year they can only afford a small fiesta. Her mother sends her to school with a boiled egg for lunch. When she cracks it, it is the raw egg that was saved for her cake. Isabel is sad and knows there will not be a cake and that she will not get her wish. Is there anything that can save Isabel's birthday?
Isabel's Birthday Surprise is for anyone who's ever had big expectations that didn't go as planned. This heartwarming story reminds readers of the small things that really make life special. I liked Galvez's colorful, interesting, and expressive illustrations. Some Spanish words are used throughout the story.
