(4) K-3 Illustrated by Enrique O. Sanchez. The English alphabet plus the Spanish language's three additional characters are represented by nouns emblematic of Central, North, and South America: "J is for jalapeño," "W is for wampum," etc. With its colorful illustrations and brief descriptions, this well-intended book is nicely executed but disjointed: readers will get only a vague sense of the many different American cultures and countries included.
