Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Dominguez, a Mexican American illustrator, adapts the familiar rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb” to a new, Peruvian setting and offers each verse in both English and Spanish. When Maria’s white llama follows her to school, the students are amused, but the teacher sends him outdoors. He waits patiently while the teacher explains that the llama loves Maria because Maria loves the llama. Kudos to Dominguez for using the entire poem rather than just the familiar opening verses. On the other hand, there is no mention of the original authorship. Using distinctive features of Andean dress, culture, and landscape (at one point the characters stand of a map of Peru), the gouache-and-ink illustrations feature bold lines and simple forms. Dominguez uses color effectively, with the white llama and Maria’s bright red cap making them easy to spot. With its cheerful combination of fresh and familiar elements, this distinctive version of the rhyme makes a fine addition to library collections, particularly where there is a demand for bilingual picture books. Preschool-Grade 2. --Carolyn Phelan

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Bilingual Book to Teach Spanish & Peruvian Culture
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2017

We purchased this for our 5-year-old niece, who is learning to read Spanish. This book was a big hit with her and all the family, and she was able to read it in Spanish right away. The story and words were easy enough for her, and the few more difficult words, she was able to sound out and learn. She read the story over and over. We loved that the story takes place in Peru, so we she could also learn Peruvian culture. This is a great book for children, especially if you want to teach them to read Spanish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Adaptation of the Classic

This is a really charming story. My daughter is enrolled in a preschool spanish program, and this book is just the right level for where she's at (and where I'm at with my spanish, which is definitely pretty beginner). I love that it has the english translation. The illustrations are lovely, and overall, it is just a lovely interpretation of the classic nursery rhyme. My daughter and I both really like it.
