Review Reviewed by Deborah Lloyd for Readers' Favorite In the children's book, Samba in Brazil, author Paul Yanuziello crafts a delightful tale. Ariela is a ten-year-old girl who is originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She and her family moved to Canada when she was a baby. Every year, she visits her Auntie Tia who lives in Salvador during Carnaval time. She insisted on bringing Samba, her six-month-old Bernese Mountain Dog. They have several adventures together; the most memorable experience is participating in a Carnaval parade. Both wore magnificent costumes with sparkles and feathers, and they danced to the samba rhythm on a large float. An outstanding feature of this book is the inclusion of many cultural facts about Brazil. Additionally, Ariela has visions of the sacred spirits of nature when she sees the Carnaval costumes - an important aspect of this festival. The illustrations by Joshua Miller are beautiful and will captivate the imaginations of children and parents alike. Parents will find many opportunities to discuss cultural traditions while reading this story to young children. A wonderful addition to any child's library! Reviewed by Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite Paul Yanuziello's picture book story, Samba in Brazil (Samba the Dog), is a fun story for young readers. The colorful illustrations help carry this story along. Most of the story is told in simple language to make it easier for young readers to follow and improve their reading skills. It also includes some words in Portuguese (with the English translations). The author has included a number of interesting details about Brazil to introduce young readers to another country. There is also an interesting information page at the end with more fun facts about Brazil. This may be a simple story for young readers, but there are lots of educational tidbits as well. Reviewed by Tiffany Ferrell for Readers' Favorite In Samba In Brazil, we are introduced to a little girl named Ariela and her Bernese Mountain dog named Samba. Even though Samba and Ariela were from Canada, they both currently are in Brazil visiting Ariela's aunt who lives in Salvador. Ariela's Tia is a dance teacher who teaches Afro-Brazilian history and culture. I thought Samba In Brazil was an adorable and fun read. It is informative to the young reader and also introduces them to Portuguese phrases and words, which is nice. The pictures are also beautifully done and fit perfectly with the storyline. I think Paul Yanuziello has done a wonderful job with this story and I can't wait to see what other adventures Ariela and Samba will have.
