¿Qué Puedes Hacer con una Paleta? (What Can You Do with a Paleta Spanish Edition)

This is an absolutely wonderful book. The text is fresh and "sassy" and the beautiful acrylic paintings are vibrant and joyful. "Where the big velvet roses bloom red and pink and fuchsia, where the accordion plays sassy and sweet, where the smell of crispy tacos or buttery tortillas or juicy fruta floats out of every window, and where the paleta wagon rings its tinkly bell and carries a treasure of icy paletas in every color of the sarape...That's my barrio!" A delightful double spread shows the paleta wagon filled with popsicles of every imaginable color, and three eager children rushing to choose a flavor. Read this book aloud; and children and adults alike will remember their cool "paletas" with pleasure.

I bought this for my newly born great great niece and she can’t read yet but I most certainly did enjoy it! I speak Spanish but read wasn’t what I did well but it taught the G.G. Tia she still can learn just start simple. This was an enjoyable story and a good book to teach by. Must buy!!!

Great book!! We took our four year old to a Mexican paleteria (ice cream and popsicle shop) after reading this book. We enjoyed a paleta and talked about the book.

My kids 3 and 4 loved this book. They ask for it sporadically which means a lot because we have many choices. I love the colors and the story because paletas' are something my kids enjoy making and eating. I often read it in Spanish and English at the same time depending on the time we read it. Or switch back and forth between the two which is great. It gives me the opportunity to try and have a conversation in Spanish after a day at school where all they speak is English.

I think it’s a fantastic book!

The story was not very creative in itself, but the "idea" behind what you could possibly do with a "paleta" generated many "what if's" during our nightly reading session. This is the kind of book that I would let my 4.5 year old read to me, bc it lends itself well to using your imagination about the many possibilities. The story will be what you make of it...

Great book with beautiful illustrations. My two year old loves this book. There is one page that I skip, though, I know it may seem uptight but I'm trying to teach my kiddos to be great people so I skip the page where her uncle wins a baseball game by offering the batter a popsicle to distract him so her uncle wins the game (cheating). I know, I know... a lot of you will roll your eyes but that's me and that's how I'm raising my kids! With that tiny exception I love this book.

The illustrations are beautiful and kids enjoyed it!

Lovely book my daugther loved it!
