La Taquería, by I.P. Zúñiga
The Muñoz family is really GOOD at making tacos…and sometimes they don’t realize just HOW good. When one day they receive an offer that seems almost too good to be true, it leads them to some difficult decision making. The next generation thinks being trendy is COOL. But kids: Not so fast! Don’t forget that making good tacos is an art form. Follow the Muñoz family as they prepare for the next generation and as new trends come their way. Experience the tastes and sounds of traditional Mexico in the midst of rapid change. Will they learn too late that some traditions are better left untouched? Novice level language learners will appreciate the simplicity of language forms used and enjoy the "dance" of onomatopoeic (sound) words across the pages. They will also benefit from abundant repetition of high-frequency structures and simple vocabulary, and from ample exposure to dialogue throughout.
