Review Detail

Thank you to Emma Otheguy, Sara Palacios and Simon and Schuster for a copy of Martina Has Too Many Tias. I love reviewing childrens' books and sharing them with a teacher friend afterwards.
Martina Has Too Many Tias is based on La Cucaracha Martina, a Caribbean folktale.
I thought this story was very cute from the start of Martina's complaints about her tias to her escape and return.
The tias made me laugh as I have a couple of aunts just like a couple of them and could understand Martina's views. My favorite part of this adorably illustrated story was Martina's escape. I thought it was very creative way to show how important all family members are - even the ones who annoy us.
Really well written, creative and an adorable way to teach such an important lesson.
