Customer Reviews

excellent folk tale

This story is an excellent folk tale written in both English and Spanish. My son loves it (we live in Mexico). My only complaint would be that its difficult to make a folk tale really really relavent. This whimsical story lacks that.

What a Little Chicken!

A very special chicken is born on the ranch. He sets off to Mexico City, gives and receives help along the way. A delightful tale with wonderful picture. Easy and enjoyable to read in both Spanish and English.
