Happy Memorial day!!!! One this day let's try to remeber what its all about.

It is the VETERAN, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the VETERAN, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the VETERAN, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer, who has given us freedom to assemble.

It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the VETERAN, not the politician, Who has given us the right to vote.

It is the VETERAN who salutes the Flag,

It is the VETERAN who serves under the Flag,

Once Upon a Time Traditonal Latin American Tales

This book was written by Rueben Martinez and illustrated by Raul Colon. I think they did a awesome job on it. The pictures are wonderful and I love that they put each little story in English and Spanish. I had never heard of these Latin American Tales but they were funny and cute. My favorite would be The Wedding Rooster. Also liked Pedro Urdemales and the Giant. Going to give this book to my nephew who is five and speaks Spanish and English. I also think this book would be good if a child spoke English and the parents only spoke Spanish,good way to still do reading time and both understand what's being read. You can buy this book here

*This book was given to me for my honest review
