I love getting my kids excited about holidays.  Cinco de Mayo is one of those that we tend to overlook, but there are lots of great resources out there.

There are many neat books to choose from, including cuter stories to more informative books.

Once you read some books together, it is fun to do a little Cinco de Mayo celebration after!  We like to cook together when we can.
