MultiCultural Review
...Carlson's collection of seven plays is a fine addition of classic and modern plays that are ready for the school or classroom stage. Teachers will find that the plays represent a variety of Hispanic cultures and dialects. The playwrights represent the finest in their category from Spanish and Latin American greats like Federico Garcia Lorca and Alfonsina Storni to contemporary American writers like Gary Soto, Pura Belpre, and Oscar Hijuelos.The plays are perfect for young actors, and teachers will find they can be staged with a minimum of sets and costumes...The bilingual format is ideal for different types of classrooms ranging from regular English classrooms to bilingual and even middle schools with Spanish language offerings. I highly recomend this book for the school library or classroom, and let the acting begin!
