What's weird is that inside the book, P is actually for prickly pear.
Also, it's interesting that probably two-thirds of the words are English. Not good or bad, just interesting.
Also, I like that the very mixed heritage that makes up Mexico is represented. Olmec, Maya, mestizo. Modern history, ancient history. Nature and culture. Good stuff overall, just a little weird.

Any book that sends me to Google as often as this one did is a winner - it covers a wide range of topics, and definitely gets the reader interested and excited to do more research.
The illustrations are fine - done in a folk art style, they convey what the text is talking about, but they aren't necessarily more interesting than the words.

This nonfiction book is fantastic for learning about Mexican culture and history!! I honestly wasn’t expecting this much detail to be within this book, so man was I surprised when so much amazing information was piled on each page. Perfect for cultural and geography studies on Mexico for children.
Colorful and informative. But it is sort of annoying that a book called "P is for Pinata" actually does not feature a pinata at all. (Prickly Pear instead!) Silly. :P
