Lovely artwork and story
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
My one year old insists on us reading this book to him at least 5 times a day. He stares at the pictures and loves when we read it playing each of the characters. We wish they would publish a board book version. We need to buy a new copy as he has ripped out of couple of pages carrying the book all over the house with him.
A beautiful mexican folktale

This book is very funny and is very imaginative. Very interesting to read folktales from my country Mexico that I even didn't read before. I also liked the illustrations and the fact that this book contains a Glossary with terms in Spanish so it can help teachers and parents pronounce the words correctly. I would love to read this book among 4 year old preschoolers and children in Kindergarten.
Fun to Read!

What fun I had reading this book out loud to my daycare kids and watching them giggle and howl each time the borreguita tricked the coyote.This book is a classic to read aloud and share with all kids.
A Favorite in our Family!

This is a delightful Mexican Tale that my children and I continue to enjoy. The glossary in the front of the book adds to the delight of the story by helping the parent read with a wonderful Spanish accent. We have read this book more than any other book we have at home. I highly recommend it.
A must have !!!

This is a great book! A liitle wooly and cunning lamb outwits a coyote - over and over and over. It's easy enough for children to understand and sophisticated enough for an adult to read over and over and over and just one more time mom, please. The illstrations will make you laugh out loud.
