Grandma and Me at the Flea / Los Meros Meros Remateros

Rating:
Summary: A superbly presented and recommended bilingual picturebook.
Review: Young Juanito works with his Grandma Esperanza in selling clothing and used books at the local community flea market. As Juanito goes about running errands and bartering goods, he finds himself in the heart of a thriving Mexican American community, one that Juanito knows to be caring and generous, whose value can never be measured only in dollars. A superbly presented bilingual (English/Spanish) picturebook written by the Mexican-American poet Juan Felipe Herrera and illustrated by folk artist Anita De Lucio-Brock, Grandma And Me At The Flea is highly recommended for young readers ages 6 to 10.
