Lovely Story!

Lovely Story!
My students loved the story. Had my principal come in dressed as the Paletero man for story time and enjoyed a paleta party to end the summer reading program. We redecorated a taco truck to make a paleta truck to match the one in the story. It even made it to the Spanish LA booklist in CPS. I love to integrate literacy, culture, and the arts in my 🌎 World Language Spanish classroom .

This book has been such a treat for my son and I! The book is in English and Spanish, so you have the opportunity to chose which language you want to read it in. It is a great opportunity to reuse the book in both languages. The storyline is great - I love that it showcases brining the community together and being KIND!

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2023

This bilingual book has English and Spanish story details on each page. I liked the cute colorful drawings that illustrate it also. The story creates the feel of having he ice cream/pop sickle man come down the street. Neighbors look out for each other here and there's a good feeling about how it all plays out when the boy loses his money. The very hot day makes the ice cream/pop sickle vendor a favorite in this neighborhood.
