I think that this is a good book to read in order to learn about Cinco de Mayo. I like that the author used bold font to highlight certain words throughout the book. She took this a step further by including a glossary that defines these words in the back of the book. I also like that the author included authentic photographs to supplement the text and provide the reader with visual aids. The main idea of this book is that Cinco de Mayo is an important Mexican holiday that celebrates Mexico's victory over France in the Battle of Puebla. ( )
