Synopsis

A simple text interwoven with color photographs creates an image of the modern American lifestyle of nine-year-old Anthony Reynoso, his efforts to learn how to rope and ride Mexican Rodeo style, school, hobbies, and adventures while exploring the ancient carved rocks near his Arizona home.

Reviews

Grade 2-4?An appealing picture-book biography about a nine-year-old Mexican Rodeo charro (cowboy) who lives in a small town outside of Phoenix. In addition to discussing roping practice and competition, Anthony Reynoso tells of his school, his Mexican American and Yaqui Indian town, and his close-knit family. The first-person narrative is slightly disjointed, but very childlike in its orientation and descriptions. The sharp, clear full-color photographs show the boy engaged in a mixture of traditional Mexican activities (hitting a pi?ata at a birthday party) and typical American pastimes (collecting basketball cards). A good choice for libraries looking for glimpses of Mexican-American life.?Denise E. Agosto, Midland County Public Library, TX

Gr. 2^-4. Clear, colorful photographs and a lively, first-person narration capture the melding of traditional Mexican and modern American cultures in nine-year-old Anthony Reynoso. Although in many ways a typical American youngster (he enjoys playing basketball and collecting basketball cards), Anthony has a strong Mexican heritage. Readers will delight in the great action photos of Anthony in his charro, a Mexican cowboy outfit, doing astounding roping and riding tricks; at his cousin's birthday party; and helping at his grandparents' Mexican restaurant.
