__Mexico the Land__ (by: Bobbie Kalman)
o __ Summary: __<span style="background-color: rgb(255,255,255);"> This is one of three nonfiction books in a series (land, people, and culture). All of these books could be great resources on Mexico – although some reviews mention a slight overlap of information throughout the series. The reading level is described as appropriate for grades 3-5 and it is filled with colorful photographs. The revised editions came out in 2008, so the information is up to date. The land book is about geography, immigration, resources, and the like. The people book is about the daily lives of Mexican citizens.

__Mexico (A to Z)__ (by: Justine and Ron Fontes)
o __ Summary: __ This is an ABC nonfiction book appropriate for grades 3-5. It is packed with pictures and facts about all aspects of Mexico. Since it is presented in such a fun way, it does not have the feel of a normal fact-packed nonfiction book.



__Esperanza Rising__ (by: Pam Munoz Ryan)
o __ Summary: __ This is a historical fiction book appropriate for grades 4-7. However, a teacher can read it to a mature third grade class (perhaps skipping over sections about Esperanza’s budding romance). This is a story of a 13-year-old girl who immigrated to California from Mexico in the 1930’s and had to deal with the economic and racial struggles of that time. This story was inspired by Pam Ryan’s grandmother’s life.

Kalman, Bobbie, and Jane Lewis. __Mexico from A to Z__.
 * This book is set up to the alphabet. To explain for each letter of the alphabet a specific topic about Mexico is covered. This book could be presented over several days in a read aloud. It could also serve as an excellent reference book for students to conduct additional research.

 * This is a dvd that takes you through Mexico. It is a little long but would be great to show clips of the city and the different regions of Mexico. It also contains lots of factual information for students. The scenery is beautiful and the music is Mexican as well.
