The Little Red Ant and the Great Big Crumb: A Mexican Fable
Description
This distinctly Mexican version of an old fable found in Spain, Portugal, and France is retold and updated by a well-known storyteller. The little red ant has found a wonderful crumb, but she's not strong enough to carry it all the way home. Going from one creature to the next, asking for help, the little red ant is surprised to discover who is the strongest of all. Spanish words add to the text's Mexican flavor, and bold, playful illustrations, hinting at what's coming next, make this story a real "page-turner."
|"A satisfying Mexican version of the rock-scissors-paper fable, accompanied by simple but expressive pictures." School Library Journal
