Welcome to: A Book or Two: Children's Literature Reviews, a blog site that offers information on new, classic, and favorite children's literature, reviewed by university professors, classroom teachers, librarians, and those studying to become teachers. We hope you will find "just the right book" to share with others. Our goal is to keep the site updated with information about children's authors, book awards, and new releases. Each entry will include the book cover picture, a brief overview, bibliographic information, and suggested uses for families, librarians, and teachers. We will categorize books in several different ways, to facilitate searching.

The Day of the Dead

Author/Illustrator: Bob Barner
Front CoverTranslator: Teresa Mlawer
Copyright: 2011
Genre: Foreign
Reading Level: 4+yrs
Book Description: I love the symbols and pictures associated with this Spanish holiday. This book gives students to learn about a holiday they wouldn’t normally learn much about. The book has text in English and Spanish.
Integrated Activity: (3rd grade)  Students will design their own sugar skulls (I will have all kinds of things to decorate with-glitter, ribbon, etc.) and write at least one paragraph about what they learned (about the holiday).
