Summary: A Recipe for Success
Review: Salsa Stories is a fabulous combination of 2 parts story, 1 part pictures, and 1 part food. This friendly mélange makes for delectable reading when paired with the endearing stories in this collection. A very interesting aspect of the collection is that the stories follow the calendar, beginning with arroz con pollo on New Year's Day, and ending with coconut tembleque at Christmas. Likewise, Salsa Stories also follows its delightful characters all over Latin America and will lead them into your heart. The characters go through such universal problems as sibiling rivalry, having to tell the truth, and trying to coax your friend's parents into letting them play with you, in stories that transcend geography and ethnicity. Salsa Stories is a lovely book for all.
