Cuckoo/Cuc£: A Mexican Folktale/Un cuento folkl¢rico mexicano

One of my son’s favorite books. He asks me to read it in English and then Spanish often. We also bought other books by the same author. There is a good moral to the story. The illustrations are vivid and spark the imagination. They are easy enough for your child to craft their own Cuckoo from construction paper just like the one in the book.

Lois Ehlert is one of my favorite authors. Her books are so visually stimulating. I love the way she uses colors, textures and words to make the story take on a life of its own. Very creative and ..........bilingual, too!

I love this book because it is such a sweet story, and beautiful illustrations. It is also a great teaching tool for my son, and I love that it has the English and Spanish side by side.

My toddler group just love this book. Have used the pictures for patterns for puppets and other craft uses. I would recommend this book. Also good for beginner Spanish lessons.

Awesome folktale! The kids loved it!

I bought this book for my friends son to learn English and Spanish.

Nice version.

Lois Ehlert has once again done a great job with this bilingual retelling of a Mayan Indian tale from Mexico with her very bold and colorful illustrations inspired by Mexican crafts. The moral is presented in an interesting way, in which cuckoo, who is usually an annoying pest, in a crisis becomes a hero and saves the day. "You can't tell much about a bird by looking at its feathers."This publication is excellent in quality - paper and printing.

Good colourful book
