Everyone's celebrating Cinco de Mayo, but why? Carlos's abuelo tells him the tale: On May 5, 1862, the Mexicans, though outnumbered, battled the French over unfair taxes. And the Mexicans won by using a secret weapon-cows! This story, filled with historical and cultural details, explains how every year, Mexicans and people of Mexican ancestry commemorate this victory: with parades, special food, mariachi, dancing, and piñatas. Full-color art. Puzzles, recipes, historical note. Bilingual text.
