Sopa de frijoles / Bean Soup: Un poema para cocinar / A Cooking Poem

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rafael Yockteng. This book takes a simple recipe, and through poetic metaphor, turns it into a celebration. Readers can actually make the soup by following the story (steps requiring adult assistance are marked); cheerful, cleanly composed illustrations interpret some of the stages. The Spanish and English versions of the text both use the magic of language to evoke the mystery of cooking.
