Vamos! Lets Go Eat, written by Raul the Third, reviewed by Judy Hauser

Summary: Children will love this food adventure with fun and interesting characters. The characters are different representations of animals (the snake wearing a pant leg and a boot is a hoot!). Little Lobo and his friends prepare a food bike cart for a wrestling event and the story follows them as they gather food items to sell. The reader/listener will learn a lot about Spanish words and phrases, foods and the wrestling event. An excellent food glossary is included in the back of the book. Along with the great characters portrayed in the book the dizzying, colorful, wonderful illustrations will be a huge hit and children will take in every gem on every page. Highly recommended (beware: do not read while hungry!). 

Straight Talk for Librarians: A great book for learning Spanish words and foods for young children. The wrestling aspect of the book would be a good discussion topic.
