Abstract

en_US This is a good fable that I do not remembering seeing before. For those who want to consult a text, it is on the second-to-last page. Señor Coyote surprises Señor Rabbit during a siesta, jumps on him, and is ready to eat him. Señor Rabbit asks for a last favor, to do his normal task of ringing the recess bell for all the juicy, tender, little hares in the schoolhouse over there. Señor Coyote is eager to ring that bell and bring out all those edible little hares! The bell is really a hornets' nest. He shakes the tree so hard that the nest falls on him, and hundreds of angry hornets attack him. He runs to a nearby pond and jumps in. Upon examining himself, he thinks that he looks like a porcupine, with all the long hornet-stingers protruding from his body. The visual presentation of the story may confuse things by presenting what looks like a real bell. There are two pages of print at the front on storytelling and wordless picture-books. It would be fun to read this book with a child who has not yet learned to read. There is a lot for him or her to find in the pictures.
