bookcover of THE TORTILLA FACTORY by Gary Paulsen
3.66 STARS from 28 GoodReaders
All 5 STARS from Amazon Reviewers

THE TORTILLA FACTORY is a beautiful little book from the Paulsens. With warm artwork and poetic text it describes how tortillas come from corn which is grown in the soil. And how that corn, when ground, makes its way from the fields to the kitchen table.

The Black Earth sleeps in winter.
But in the spring the black earth
is worked by brown hands
that plant yellow seeds,
which become green plants in rustling in the wind
and make golden corn to dry in
hot sun and be ground into flour
for the tortilla factory.
This slim volume is not only a great poetic read-aloud, it's useful. With text and pictures it introduces young children to patterns of life that they might not be aware of. It describes how the planting of corn is cyclical and in the rhythm of the seasons; and how the ground corn grain moves through our society so that it eventually nourishes those who grow it.

MONSTER HIGH series reading information

Monsters, fashion, fun... squee!!!  Clever names, puns, television specials, and dolls make the Monster High book franchise a series with strong appeal.

The author, Lisi Harrison (best selling author of THE CLIQUE) knows her audience.  Before penning her MONSTER HIGH books she worked at MTV developing programming.

These books contain some sexual innuendos --like to sexting-- and references to 'making out'.  So not for little girls.

bookcovers of the  MONSTER HIGH series by Lisi Harrison

MONSTER HIGH

3.73 avg rating — 3,998 ratings

This book is told from two points of view.  First there's the "normi" Melody.  She just had a nose job and moved from California to Oregon.  Then there's Frankie Stein, a girl monster who is only 15 days old.  Both are now attending 'Monster' High.

Most reviewers comment that they really wish the story had just been about Frankie.  But as it is, it tells about boy-crazy Melody, and green Frankie who is busy passing herself off as a normi... but who never stoops to betraying who she really is inside.

Fun pop references to things like Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas, fashionista items.

JESUS - books at the Kindergarten level

Many homeschoolers like to combine lessons.  A sort of educational 'killing two birds with one stone'.  This list is for them.  It has THE easiest books about Jesus.  And the included books --which are in Spanish and English -- will allow little ones to reinforce religious lessons with reading lessons. 
Notes:
--check to see if your church has these books to borrow
--most of these books are very affordable; but sometimes you need to check the used books area
--for some reason, reading information is sometimes only available for the Spanish versions of these books, with no 'official' info on the English volumes.  I'm including links to the English books for your convenience.
