<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Previously published by Groundwood Books, 2012.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Now available in paperback, <i>Guacamole</i> is the third title of Jorge Argueta's popular bilingual Cooking Poems series, celebrating the joys of preparing, eating and sharing food. <p/>Guacamole originated in Mexico with the Aztecs and has long been popular in North America, especially in recent years due to the many health benefits of avocados. This version of the recipe is easy to make, calling for just avocados, limes, cilantro and salt. A little girl dons her apron, singing and dancing around the kitchen as she shows us what to do. Poet Jorge Argueta sees beauty, magic and fun in everything around him -- avocados are like green precious stones, salt falls like rain, cilantro looks like a little tree and the spoon that scoops the avocado from its skin is like a tractor. <p/>As in all the titles in this series, <i>Guacamole</i> conveys the pleasure of making something delicious to eat for people you really love. A great book for families to enjoy together.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This fanciful, imaginative narrative is as much poetry as it is a recipe." -- <i>School Library Journal</i> <p/>"Sada's digitally enhanced oil paintings create bold contrasts with their festive colors--readers will practically be able to taste the 'sour river of lime'." -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"A bilingual treat." -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jorge Argueta</b> is an award-winning author of picture books and poetry for young children.
