comments: I would recommend this book while talking about Hispanic culture and heritage. It would be a great book for that purpose. The reader of the book has to be able to read pretty well because the stories are longer and have hidden messages and cultural beliefs. But I would definitely use it probably strarting at the end of the first grade and up.
