Bite Size Facts from Guatemala.......2007-10-07

My three year old daughter, adopted from Guatemala, loved this book. It offers bite size pieces of information about the country in a fun way. She even brought it to her preschool on her show and tell day.

We love it for our 3yo and 8yo.......2007-02-26

The pictures really tell the story of Guatemala - the fast facts you think of first when thinking about Guatemala. We think its perfect for the younger age group, but it would also work with children a bit older. Our 3yo who was recently adopted from Guatemala loves this book along with the Guatemala Q&A book. They go well together. Our 8 yo loves to read this book to her sister. So, they both learn and remember Guatemala.

Good, but not what I expected........2007-01-12

From the title and cover of this book, one might think the book is for kids 2-7, but it's actually aimed at older kids. Other than that, the book is still satisfying, delivering fun, fast facts in an easily digestible format. Very informative.

The beauty is in the pictures and passages........2007-01-04

I absolutely think you should have this book as part of your collection. The pictures come to life along with the description. The wording is simple and sweet. I am a first grade teacher and taught using this book. All my students enjoyed the memory this book brings to life. Vivid pictures and colors are an absolute gift from the artist.

Nicely done, not spectacular.......2006-10-14

Colorful book with some interesting information about Guatemala. This is an intermediate book, not really for older readers and not an "ABC" book that you would show a toddler. I plan to show it to my youngest when he is 4 or so. The drawing are good but not great.

The information is a bit superficial and the "Fast facts" are an odd addition. The "fast fact" info should just be part of the text; I don't know why they are "fast".

Book Description

Six island children are running at daybreak -- over the hills, through the fields, across the city square -- to school! Never before has the love of learning (and learning together) been such a joyous time. Denise Lauture's buoyant, poetic text captures the happiness and youth of energetic children on the way to school; Reynold Ruffins perfectly illustrates the rich beauty of Haiti with the bright-colored vibrance of Haitian folk art. A great read-aloud book for the classroom.

Customer Reviews:

poetry and pictures!.......2005-09-24

Beautiful poetry, with rich Haitian style artwork. Young readers will love to be read this book, and we can all learn about what a privelege it is to attend school and how hard it is for some children. The story captures the rhythm and excitement of the children running to school early in the morning in Haiti.
Beautiful, readable, enriching.

Stunning.......2004-05-05

The illustrations are absolutely stunning; the text is delightful and touching. Haitian children travel long distances in the wee hours of the morning without shoes to simply get to school. What a wake-up call for those of us in the U.S. struggling to get our children dressed and off to school. I bought it for my three-year-old daughter who is half Haitian, but it is a beautiful tale for any child (or adult).
