Series review: People Around Town / Gente de mi ciudad
This bilingual series about community workers will surely grab the attention of beginner readers. Each books information is presented in very large text and bold, colorful photographs. Most of the books show both men and women of different ethnicities engaging in the occupation. Because the text on each page is in both English and Spanish, these books would be excellent first readers for English-speaking, Spanish-speaking or bilingual students. RECOMMENDED.
