In Maya mythology the first men and women are even said to be made of corn. It has been an important food for people in Central America for centuries, and one of the most delicious things you can make using corn masa and husks are tamalitos, or little tamales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn simple poetic language, Argueta shows young cooks how to mix and knead the dough before dropping a spoonful into a cornhusk, wrapping it up and then steaming the little package. He once again makes cooking a full sensory experience, including beating on a pot like a drum, dancing the corn dance, delighting in the smell of corn masa … And at the end, he suggests inviting the whole family to come and enjoy the delicious tamalitos “made of corn with love.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDomi’s vivid paintings, featuring a sister and her little brother making tamalitos together, are a perfect accompaniment to the colorful text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eprocedural text\u003cbr\u003erecipe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.7\u003cbr\u003eWith prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the story in which they appear (e.g., what moment in a story an illustration depicts).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.7\u003cbr\u003eExplain how specific aspects of a text's illustrations contribute to what is conveyed by the words in a story (e.g., create mood, emphasize aspects of a character or setting)\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-03-24T09:40:19-04:00","created_at":"2022-03-23T13:22:31-04:00","vendor":"Groundwood Books Ltd","type":"","tags":["age range 4 -
