From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-"No tires el pan,"-Don't throw the bread away! a mother sings to her child. She explains, poetically, how wheat is planted, grown, harvested, milled, and baked to loaves of life-giving bread. A little song, "El pan es para comer" (music included) accompanies each step in the process. Spanish and English are blended seamlessly with the graceful narrative. Shaw-Smith's heroic-style pictures, filled with rich, glowing reds and yellows, are crammed with disparate details. Tiny railroad trains wind through the landscape of fields and mills. Sacks of flour emerge on assembly lines and pop up in country stores. Scenes are packed in the way of gigantic Mexican murals. Endpapers are a patchwork quilt of tiny vignettes-grains and stalks of wheat, dough rising in bowls, loaves of many shapes, slices of pan spread with butter and jam. The miniatures are repeated and expanded in borders on the double-page spreads. These images, vibrating with life and color, are not to be missed.
