(3) K-3 I Can Read Book series. Illustrated by Andrés Landazábal. In the latest installment of the Reina Ramos series, Reina is preoccupied with a food drive her school has turned into a competition: whichever class collects the most wins a pizza party. Reina tries to enlist Abuela's assistance, but Abuela is focused on bringing a homemade meal to their neighbor, who is caring for her new baby. The text includes multiple sentences per page and a sprinkling of Spanish words, complex sentences, and even the use of a colon, giving kids the opportunity to stretch their understanding of punctuation while also building their vocabularies. Sunny cartoon illustrations fill out Reina's world, depicting an active, warm, connected neighborhood and school. A glossary of Spanish words rounds out this appealing book.
