Marco’s Cinco De Mayo<\/a>
\nby Lisa Bullard (Author) and Holli Conger (Illustrator)
\n24 pages<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Marco loves the food, parades, and fun of Cinco de Mayo. This year he’s one of the dancers. (This short “faction” chapter book has facts about the holiday and a simple fiction story. Try the “Make Your Own Maracas” activity in the back of the book.)<\/p>\n

That’s a holiday that started in Mexico. People there speak Spanish. “Cinco de Mayo” means the “5th of May”<\/strong> in Spanish.<\/p>\n

**Holli is one of my former students<\/a>!**<\/p>\n
