Abstract

en_US This is a nice sideways (landscape rather than portrait) children's reader once owned by the E.M. Pease Library . It includes nineteen stories. It certainly comes from another era. Simple Spanish words are carefully introduced, explained, and translated. The tellings are spirited and entertaining. The Rabbit & Coyote series may include the best stories, as the author suggests in his preface. Several fables are included in nicely adapted forms. Thus The Race Between the Rabbit and the Frog (20) not only refers to TH; it also reproduces, more or less, The Hedgehog and the Hare. The Wax Doll, the Coyote, and Rabbit (32) reproduces the tar-baby story, including a good final trick. The rabbit is tied up in a tree after he has been caught. Coyote comes by. Rabbit tells him that they want to lock him in the chicken house. Coyote naturally wants to take rabbit's place, tied up in the tree. The Snake Who Wanted to Fly (72) is The Talkative Tortoise all over again. Senor Coyote Settles a Quarrel (85) and Repaying Good with Evil (118) both use the Show me how it was originally trick from The Brahmin, the Tiger, and the Jackal. The Coyote and the Rooster (107) is Chanticleer. Finally, Senor Coyote and the Old Lion (113) is the story about tracks leading in but not out of the lion's den. I have enjoyed this book!
