Customer Reviews

Loved this book!

Magda's Tortillas is beautifully illustrated and the story was loved by my kindergarten class. It is a good way to teach children that their art, in this case making tortillas, does not have to be exactly like the model; rather, the difference makes their art much more valuable, leaving the artist's thumb print in the final product.

Excellent children's bilingual book

This book is an excellent children's book with both cultural and social viewpoints expressed in both Spanish and English. An excellent choice for any child's library.
