El huevo azul (Castillo de la Lectura Verde) (Spanish Edition) (Castillo De La Lectura Verde / Green Reading Castle) [Spanish]

By Silvia Jaeger Cordero

Cuento de la mitolog?a maya. El rey Tutul de Uxmal vive atormentado por una horrible pesadilla. Sue?a con que un huevo azul se rompe y hace rodar su corona a una olla de frijoles; le ordena a Cocozom, su guardia-asistente, que busque al sabio m?s sabio para que le diga el significado de su sue?o. El sue?o es interpretado por la hechicera Ixmuc de acuerdo con la profec?a: "Un rey no querido por sus s?bditos ser?a derrocado por quien har? un ruido que se oir? en todo el Mayab". Ixmuc encuentra el huevo azul y de ?l nace Yaxahk?n. Al crecer ?ste, Ixmuc invoca a los dioses para que sean maestros del muchacho. La profec?a se cumple; Tutul pierde su corona, y el nuevo gobernante, Yaxahk?n, guiado en todo momento por los dioses, se convierte en el mejor gobernante de Uxmal. Recomendado para ni?os de 4 a 8 a?os.

Lots of action in a short book

My 9 year old son read this book for a book report (4th grade Spanish immersion). He is required to read books over 80 pages long, and it is sometimes challenging to find a book that is both interesting and at the appropriate vocabulary level. He rated this book a 9/10 because it was exciting, he liked the characters, and it was not too difficult to read. The Mayan names were a little challenging at first but he seemed to enjoy the sound of the unusual names once he got used to it. The book got too preachy at the end when the gods were urging the hero to care for the environment (yes, we got it..) but otherwise the book was fun to read.
