Rapunzel/Rapunzel: A Bilingual Book (Bilingual Fairy Tales)
Kindergarten-Grade 2–These titles are beautifully rendered with attractive illustrations and fluid text in English and in Spanish.Rapunzelstands out for its witty and, at times, even poignant, modern illustrations as well as its more inventive adaptation. In this version, when the obligatory prince comes along, he is banished and blinded by the jealous jailor, who also evicts Rapunzel. All ends well as the lovers find one another and live happily ever after (Y vivieron felices y comieron perdices el resto de sus días).The Three Little Pigsis a traditional (one might even say straight-laced) adaptation coupled with bold, cartoon-style illustrations. The porcine brothers trot through the story, parting ways, building their various shelters, meeting up with the hungry wolf, and ultimately joining forces in the sturdy brick house–without straying into any narrative flourishes or embellishments.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
