Uno, Dos, Tres: One, Two, Three
Mora, Pat
2000 10014724 Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 1?Two sisters romp through a market in Mexico while selecting birthday gifts for their mother. The simple rhyming text pairs the Spanish and English numerals 1-10: "Uno one/ We'll buy Mama a sun/ dos two/ Two doves that say coo-coo..." A Spanish pronunciation guide is included. The beautiful watercolor illustrations do an excellent job of capturing the girls' excitement and of portraying the varied merchandise in the market. However, the heavy, awkward use of shadowing makes the characters' faces unattractive, thus detracting from the otherwise carefree artwork. Moreover, the items to be counted (three bells, six castanets) are often difficult to discern within the scenes, diminishing the title's serviceability as a counting book. Despite these weaknesses, this is a useful tool for teaching children how to count to 10 in Spanish.?Denise E. Agosto, Midland County Public Library, TX Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. From Booklist Ages 4^-7. A rhyming text weaves together numbers from 1 to 10 in English and Spanish as two sisters gather presents for Mama's birthday from a Mexican market. Similar to her artwork in Barbara M. Joosse's Mama, Do You Love Me? (1991), Lavallee's luminous watercolors feature monumental figures painted in a bold and reductive style. The deceptively simple design is a delight to the eye as the illustrations vibrantly dance with the text in a count of the presents collected. Robust and radiant, this counting book effectively celebrates the gift of being bilingual. Annie Ayers --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Sandpiper 0-618-05468-5 / 9780618054688
