SynopsisIn this dead-on parody of a children s classic, a very hungry zombie eats his way through a variety of his favorite foods, including clowns, astronauts, rock stars, fingers, and brains. With vivid, playful art and amusing text, The Very Hungry Zombie will appeal to picture-book lovers of all ages. Adults will catch its slightly demented humor. Older kids who grew up on classic board books will love the fun of the parody. And because the art leans toward humor rather than truly graphic grossness, a new generation of little ones may just grow up loving a creepy zombie whose gluttony earns him a bellyache.Beware This equal opportunity ghoulish gourmand would just love to have you for dinner, Cajas de cartón is the first title in the literary series Nuestra visión: U.S. Latino Literature, which features original works by Latino authors living and working in the United States. This work is the Spanish version of the author's award-winning collection of stories, The Circuit. Jiménez' 12 independent but intertwined short stories chronicle the experiences of a Mexican-American family of migrant farm laborers, as narrated by one of the children, Panchito. Unlike many readers for this level, which anthologize standard works, this book presents authentic, outstanding literature and themes that are highly relevant to native Spanish speakers in the U.S., En todas las épocas muchas personas han debido desplazarse de su lugar de origen hacia otros lugares para forjar un nuevo destino. El desafío es muy grande y al final del viaje no siempre se consigue el éxito. Sin embargo, tal como ocurre con las grandes pruebas que impone la vida, esta circunstancia puede ser también una gran oportunidad para crecer. En esta primera parte de su novela autobiográfica, Francisco Jiménez emigra con su familia a California desde Tlaquepaque, México. Trabaja en los campos de California siendo un niño y en este volumen cuenta la historia de esos años mozos. Sin sentimentalismos ni melodramas, este maravilloso libro retrata en forma perfecta la mirada de un niño inmigrante que sale de México en los años 40 en busca de una vida mejor.
