(Cherrytree Books, Jan. 1, 2010)
Meet Clemente. He's 8 years old and lives in a hacienda in the village of Francesco I Madero, Mexico. Clemente likes horse-riding, joining in the local fiestas, and riding his bike with his friends. Find out what it's like to live in Mexico by reading Clemente's letters. He'll introduce you to his family, show you how to make tortillas following his mum's recipe, and tell you how to play the pinata game. This wonderful series looks at life in different countries through simple information and the letters of a young child addressed to their pen-friend. The books have been developed with the help of Geography and Literacy consultants, and offer a variety of elements, including letters, maps, photos, a fact file and glossary.
