(4) K-3 Child's Day series. Readers follow six-year-old Cássio, who lives in a provincial Brazilian village, through his day at home and at school. The informal text conveys information about cultural and regional traditions but is illustrated with sometimes irrelevant photos. Portuguese words (with translations) are scattered throughout, but neither the text nor the glossary, which merely repeats and translates the same words, gives any pronunciation help. Bib., ind.
