When Rosa tries to share her abuela's "mud soup" with her friend Josh, he hesitates to eat what looks like dirt mixed with worms. Although the transitions are abrupt, this book features word repetition, a linear plot, and a text flavored with Spanish words. The accompanying illustrations provide clues to help beginning readers decode the text. A short glossary of Spanish words and a recipe for black bean soup are included.
