UPSIDE DOWN and BACKWARDS- By: Diane Bertrand


This was a fun book with many short reads that a child could pick up anytime. This would be an excellent book to read as a class, in groups, and then at home alone and with parents. All in one, this book offers so many opportunities for reading. My favorite story within the book was Diana's Party. Luis, the little boy, was staying with his aunt and was supposed to go to Diana's birthday party and had her movie gift certificate all ready to go. However, his aunt thought otherwise and thought he should wear a tie and take a powder puff that smelled "good" since little girls like things that smell good. This particular story reminded me of Jason from Made You Look because "girly" things (Jason's underwear turning pink) were being pressured on him and things were not going his way. In addition to all of the stories being funny, it was actually two books in one! One written in English, the other written in Spanish. This is a book that no matter what language a student reads, would all enjoy.
