Tonatiuh, D. (2010). Dear primo: A letter to my cousin. New York: Abrams Books for Young Readers.
Exposition: Charlie and Carlitos are cousins. Charlie lives in America, in a large city. Carlitos lives in Mexico, more in the country. The two boys are exchanging letters.
Conflict: Charlie and Carlitos live very different lives.
Rising Action: The boys compare homes, schools, food, recess, and after-school activities.
Climax: The boys compare holidays and family traditions at holidays.
Falling Action: They have to stop writing and go to bed.
Resolution: They both realize that they should visit each other.
The illustrations are okay. They are very simple, and naive as though a child drew them. They do reinforce the text, and Spanish words are provided.
