Uno, Dos, Tres, Posada!
Let's Celebrate Christmas
By Virginia Kroll
Multicultural book

This is a multicultural book that uses counting to tell about the posada which is celebrated in Latin American countries.  The book starts counting from one to ten using the counting to explain details of what happens during Christmas.  the illustrations go with the story so it is an easy to follow book. Illustrations are colorful and attractive for children.  I think I would use this book in my class.  I would use it either to help explain Latino culture go the students or to help if I have an ELL student in my class. This seems to be a Kindergarten book or higher if teaching English as a second language.
