Too Many Tamales

Soto, G. (1993). Too Many Tamales. Illus. Ed Martinez. New York, New York: Penguin Group (USA), Inc.

Annotation: This is a book about a Mexican family preparing a Mexican dish of Tamales before Christmas. The little girl in this book tries on her mother's diamond ring and loses it. She thinks it fell into one of the tamales, but luckily she realizes that her mother is wearing it.

Genre: Culturally Diverse Picture Book

Grade Level: PreK-2nd

Readers who would like this: This is a good book for a teacher to have to in order to introduce how every culture has a different way of celebrating holidays. They could do a Venn comparing and contrast this culture and the traditional Christmas meal.

Ratings/Response: I give this book a 4. I think this book is relate able to many kids. Some point in our life we have felt the same rush and wondered how we were going to dig our way out of a certain situation.

Question: How do you celebrate Christmas?
