What Can You Do with a Paleta?

32 pp. | Tricycle | April, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58246-221-9 $14.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Magaly Morales. A Mexican American girl waxes rhapsodic over the paletas (ice pops) that arrive in her barrio every summer. What seems like a narrow subject becomes larger with each page turn: the book is ultimately a portrait of a tight-knit community celebrating one of its traditions. The acrylics are rendered in warm, fruity colors. The bilingual edition nicely incorporates Spanish text on the pages. Review covers these titles: What Can You Do with a Paleta?[c1] and What Can You Do with a Paleta? / ¿Qué puedes hacer con una paleta?.
