Alvarez, Julia  How Tia Lola Learned to Teach, 134  p. Alfred A. Knopf, 2010. $15.99 Language: G (0 swears, 0 'f') Violence: G, Mature Content: G.  Finally! Another Tia Lola book! Miguel and Juanita's tia Lola has been invited to teach Spanish at their elementary school.  Tia Lola doesn't even speak English!  3rd grader Juanita is thrilled because Tia Lola is very special and her friends (and everyone she knows) agrees.  Miguel is worried that her colorful dresses and Dominican ways will be too strange for his friends. He has nothing to worry about.  This sequel to How Tia Lola Came To (Visit) Stay is just as much fun, teaches lots of Spanish Sayings, and leaves the reader wanting more. Nice to see you again Tia Lola!  EL - ESSENTIAL.  Lisa, Reading Teacher
