Fiesta Babies


Tafolla, C. (2010). Fiesta Babies. New York, NY: Tricycle Press.

In Fiesta Babies written by Carmen Tafolla and illustrated by Amy Córdova, the babies enjoy the festivities of Fiesta in San Antonio.   They march in parades, sing mariachi songs, and dance two-by-two.  Written in delightful rhyme, Fiesta Babies provides parents an opportunity to introduce young children to poetry and fiesta.  The glossary of Spanish words at the back of the book is an excellent resource for helping young readers build their vocabulary.

A picture book small enough for small hands, this would be a good book to have in nurseries or early childhood classrooms. The babies are painted in bright colors. The San Antonio skyline is a backdrop. This is a cute book to add to a collection.
