![]() Soto does not just stop there with his ability to immerse children into another culture. In this way, not only are children of Hispanic heritage eager to engage, any child with the slightest interest in learning something new (which is every child) has the opportunity to learn some aspects of a new culture, starting with the language. Any time a Spanish phrase is used, it is either repeated in English or surrounded by a context that clearly displays its meaning. The first thing that catches my attention about this book in particular is Soto’s ability to incorporate bilingualism in a way that captures the readers interest while increasing a desire to learn Spanish but also providing many opportunities for the audience to pick up on Spanish terminology. I have chosen to engage directly with Soto’s work, Chato’s Kitchen. Throughout this post I will provide you with an overview of my initial reaction to Chato’s Kitchen as I merely scrape the surface of the many nuances provided within this piece of literature. ![]()
