Burro's Tortillas

What do you get when you cross The Little Red Hen with a burro and his friends? Burro's Tortillas! In this humorous Southwestern retelling of a childhood favorite, Burro finds it difficult to get any help from his friends as he diligently works to turn corn into tortillas. Young children will love the repetition; older children will enjoy the book's many puns. In addition to its Southwestern "flavor," the delightful story imparts an accurate picture of the traditional way that tortillas are made. The For Creative Minds educational section includes: Corn: From Plant to Table, How Many Ways We Eat Corn, Making Tortillas: A Recipe, and a Spanish/English Vocabulary Matching Activity. Additional teaching activities and interactive quizzes are available at the Sylvan Dell Publishing website.
