A-ZTEC: A Bilingual Alphabet book by Emmanuel Valtierra - ADVISABLE

A-ZTEC: A Bilingual Alphabet book
by Emmanuel Valtierra.
PICTURE BOOK Levine Querido, 2025. $20. 9781646145676 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL -  ADVISABLE 

APPEALS TO: SOME 

This bilingual ABC book poetically teaches the gods, myths, words, and culture of the Aztecs. In the style of a codex, with a poem in both English and Spanish, colorful illustrations help represent each concept. 

I liked that there is a pronunciation of the word on the same page spread, in addition to the pronunciations and etymology provided in the appendix. This would be a fun addition to a class studying the Aztecs.
