The Three Little Pigs/Los Tres Cerditos (Bilingual Fairy Tales)
K-Gr. 2. This bilingual adaptation of the traditional story is freshly told in both its Spanish and English versions. Written in a natural and simple style that can easily be read out loud, the story has plenty of expressive dialogue and repetitions and rhyming words that allow for a dramatic reading. The charm and cleverness of the storytelling style make the familiar story seem new, and the brightly colored illustrations, by an artist who "helped pioneer the genre of graphic literature," are broadly comic and full of movement. A strong addition to the publisher's bilingual fairy-tale series, which includes such stories asCinderella,Hansel and Gretel, andThumbelina,this book will be a good read-aloud for small children.Stella ClarkCopyright © American Library Association.
