      Genre: BiographyCritique of Genre: This example of biography is an interesting one because it not only has facts about Juan, but alongside those facts is a continuing poem about making pottery. Media: computer generatedAge Appropriateness: secondary
    • 4/5
      This is both a book of poetry, and a biography of the famous Mexican potter, Juan Quezada. It explains how he makes his pots and how they have affected Mexican culture.
    • 4/5
      The story of how Juan Quezada figured out how to make traditional Mata Ortiz pottery after the art had been long lost is fascinating, and this book makes it understandable for kids. this would be great in conjunction with a pottery class -- kids love to play with clay.
    • 5/5
      The Pot That Juan Built is written as a duet, with poetry telling the story on the left while nonfiction text mirrors the story on the right side. The book tells about Juan Quezada from Mata Ortiz, Mexico, who builds beautiful pottery made of native materials. David Diaz's illustrations add to the richness of this multicultural picture book.
    • 3/5
      Juan Quezada is a famous potter in Mexico. This book describes the process he uses to create his beautiful pots.
    • 4/5
      This story not only focuses on Juan Quezada's life, but also his artwork. This makes it so this book is a good and unique example of a biography. The illustrations in this book are vibrant and contain a lot of color and different shapes. These illustrations help make the setting clear to the reader, which helps further the understanding of the story and the methods used to make his pottery.
    • 3/5
      Juan creates traditional pots in his local village. His beautiful pottery and hard work changed his impoverished village into a prosperous village.
    • 3/5
      This autobiography is about a Mexican man named Juan who rediscovered pottery-making.
    • 4/5
      This is a delightful account of an artist dedicated to using only natural materials and dyes, as a tribute to his heritage. One side is the take on the familiar rhyme, an the other side of the page is an engrossing narrative/
    • 1/5
      Terrible. I would give it no stars but someone took time to actually write this book so I'll give it 1 star.
