Summary: Good practice and good message
Comment: I originally read this book because I had to- in Spanish class, I had to prove my literacy. But after I read it once and got a spectacular grade on it, I read it again and noticed that there's a good message for those who haven't come from the most highly favored backgrounds in the neighborhood. It's written from a child's perspective and gave me a new outlook on what my own father must have gone through when he made the move from his country to the US. Props to Sandra in both languages.

Summary: Ms.Hernadez y sus hijos
Comment: Lo que ami me gusto sobre el libro fue que tiene en algunas partes muchas canciones bonitas. Tambien que esta facil para leer para personas que se les hace mucho trabajo leer. Esta historia que yo lei se trataba de una senora que tenia 6 hijos y su marido la abandono. La senora ya no queria a los ninos porque eran muchos y la enfadaban, y por eso ella se iva a trabajar y los dejaba solos en la casa sin nadie que los atendiera, Ms.Hernadez decia que ya estaba enfadada de ellos. Yo pienso que si talvez el senor no los huviera abandonado su padre y que los ninos fueran ala escuela para que no fueran tan mal educados fueran una familia feliz sin problemas.

Summary: mesmerizing
Comment: I have read this book aloud, in English and Spanish, to students grade 3-5 and they were all MESMERIZED by it. The reason is that they had never heard a book written in a child's voice, about everyday experiences similar to their own. The part about one of the girls being tempted to kiss the bum for a dollar got a great discussion going, with many students giving their opinion about what the girl should or should not do. Also, Elena Poniatowska did an amazing job of translating from English to Spanish. Nothing was lost, not even the voice. Poniatowska is an author in her own right, and therefore was able to achieve a perfect translation.
