FIESTA! (August House)
After celebrating numbers (Cool Cats Counting, 2005)
and colors (Spicy Hot Colors, 2004), this creative team
turns to the concept of months, using each one to explore
how Latin American countries mark various festive occasions.

Each full-page spread combines vibrant art with a short poem
and a prose paragraph that tells more about the
customs surrounding each special day. -- Booklist

pre-school thru 2nd grade.
