Read this one and trashed it. Not something I want to be teaching my kid. Also reinforces stereotypes.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

I try to screen most books before reading them to my 3 year old. Unfortunately, I didn't screen this one first and we read this one as soon as it arrived. I was actually quite surprised by the message and I ended up having to explain, on the spot, why it was the wrong message. He has asked for the story several times since then though the book has now disappeared. I really like that it is written in both English and Spanish which is great for language learning. The illustrations are detailed and colorful as well. I just don't like that the wife in the story came up with a plan to trick the real owners of a lost bag of money from getting it back. The real owners were described as bad people who were harsh to their tenants and people in general. The book ends with the couple enjoying their newfound wealth and being grateful to Mother Nature for it. It appears to be a karma-type message that somewhat misses the mark. The husband doesn't actually see that the money dropped out of the owner's carriage but the wife understands that he found the bag of money and has already come up with a plan to ensure that they are able to keep the money by making her husband look crazy when the owners show up at their door looking for the lost bag of money. Anyway, there may be something missing in the translation but as far as I can tell, it missed the mark and it isn't something I would want impressionable little ones to absorb.

The Day It Rained Bunuelos

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

The Day It Rained Bunuelos, retold by Berta de Llano and illustrated by Jaime Rivera Contreras, is a bilingual book featuring both English and Spanish versions of the narrative. Though English is their first language, my daughters have been learning Spanish and I like to use bilingual books like this to complement the online program they are completing. At this point, the Spanish in The Day It Rained Bunuelos is too complex for them, but it is something they can grow into.

As Berta de Llano notes at the beginning, this is a folktale type story. Personally, I do not care for several of the wife’s actions and I would not want my children to think her behavior is normal or healthy. However, when they are a bit older, I think it could be a good opportunity to discuss actions, purposes, morals, etc. The illustrations are colorful and sharp.

Overall, I give The Day It Rained Bunuelos three stars because I do not like the story, but I recognize the value of bilingual books and the illustrations are well done.

Very good story but very poor moral lesson

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2020

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

This tale about a poor old couple and the making of Bunuelos, sweet fried bread covered with sugar and cinnamon, is a version of some ancient fables, retold in an updated fine manner, but the moral lesson of the tale is not good.
The old couple had very little money and lived off of foods they could find in the fields, such as berries. One day, the old wife gave her old husband the last of their money to go to the store to by dough so that she could make Bunuelos. When the old man was returning home, he found a bag with a wealth of coins, which he brought home. The bag clearly belonged to the rich landowner. The husband wanted to return the bag, but his wife did not. She thought of a way to keep the coins.
The next morning, she suggested to her husband that he go to the school to learn counting so that in the future they can be sure that they are not cheated in stores. He agreed and went. That night she made many Bunuelos and placed many on their roof and around the house. In the morning, she told her husband that during the night it rained Bunuelos.
Two servants of the rich man came to their house to find out if they had the bag of coins. The wife said no. Her husband said yes. The servants asked the husband when he found the bag. He said the day before he went to school and before the night it rained Bunuelos. Since the old man was too old to go to school and since it never rains Bunuelos, the servants were convinced the old man was crazy and left.
It was in this way, by fooling her husband that the old wife was able to keep the coins that belonged to the rich man.

The Day It Rained Buñuelos- Skip this title and stick to other Keepsake books

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2020

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

I want to start off saying that I am usually a big fan of the Keepsake bilingual stories series. The stories are beautifully illustrated and translated between both languages better than most books I have seen over the years. Each book is robust but not too long, and neither language suffers translation loss which can be common in bilingual books.

I am struggling with this book because of the strange nature of the story and some of the not so great messages that are sprinkled throughout.

This book paints the wife as a controlling conniving woman and the husband as a naive and clueless old man. My husband sometimes makes stories up on the fly when reading to my 7 month old and I was in disbelief when he told me he was reading the pages word for word.

I wasn't a huge fan overall and will not be keeping this story in my child's bilingual book collection. I'd suggest skipping this book and sticking with some of the other more constructive Keepsake stories.

Fun way to further your English or Spanish knowledge

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2020

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

A story about a sweet old man and his clever wife. He worked hard on a rich man's ranch, but they now have to forage food from the wild to survive because he wasn't paid fairly. When the ranch owner accidentally drops a bag of gold, the old man finds it. The clever woman figures out how to trick both her honest husband and the rightful owners of the money into allowing the old couple to keep the gold. I presume she feels justified because the ranch owners didn't pay her husband fairly in the first place, but she may have done it simply to survive the coming winter.

The story is told in both Spanish and English. I'm learning Spanish, so I try to read the Spanish and can quickly check an unknown word or if my understanding of the Spanish sentence is correct. It has cute, cartoon-like illustrations of what's going on. Purely from a leaning viewpoint, the story has a nice variety of useful vocabulary.
