This is Poroto’s (my toddler) new favorite book, the recently released by Workman Spanish translation, Al Galope! by Rufus Butler Seder.
Warning : blatant use of my kid ahead

What makes Al Galope! so much fun for the pre-school set (the ideal age for this book, in my opinion) is it features animals and what they do, adding a touch of a self-esteem in it’s final pages. But what sets this book apart and even had my 12 year old saying “that’s cool” is its use of “scanimation”, a mix of optical illusion and animation that makes the animals “move”. The author explains it best.
Reading (and Racism) is Fundamental

Nothing teaches the message of Hispanic/Latino Heritage month and Colombus Day for children quite like a book I came across the other day. The Angry Aztecs is part of a larger Scholastic Book series titled Horrible Histories , which attempt to teach elementary age children about different historical ethnic groups and nationalities using stereotypical humor. Because of the fact that the series contains such titles as The Terrible Tudors and the The Cut-throat Celts some will say the series is not racist and is just trying to appeal to children’s natural love of the gross.
