A is for the Americas covers somethings that are popular throughout Latin America. It goes through the alphabet starting from A all the way to Z. Each letter representing something different that is popular in Latin American culture. This is a book i would for sure recommend for kids who are trying to learn about other cultures or even more about their own culture. It would even help a younger audience with their ABCs. It was a great read for myself bc in some of the book i grew up drinking, eating, playing some of the things that they listed in the story. ( )

This beautiful book takes readers through the letters of the alphabet, focusing on the history of the world. I love that the illustrations in this book are all so different, but very representative of the place in the world the are showing. I also really like how the text is separated on the page, focusing each text with the picture to go with it. I would love to read this book to a group of students, as it is teaching them about the world, a topic many kids do not find interesting, and will keep them engaged through the pictures. Awesome!

This was a great ABC book that goes through the alphabet naming and talking about different things for each letter that has to do with America. A talks about America, N for Niagara Falls, R for Rio Grande, Y for Yucatan, etc. Each letter talks about what each thing is and where it is or used in America. I think the pictures really helped show what each thing was and gave a clear understanding of what it is used for or the location. I did think this was a pretty long book and not sure if kids will stay interested for the whole thing in one sitting. Maybe the teacher can do a few letters each day for a social studies lesson and just learn about a few things at a time in order for the kids to pay attention and not lose interest in the book. ( )
