A Mango in the Hand: A Story Told Through Proverbs

32 pp. | Abrams | April, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8109-9734-9 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sebastià Serra. Young Francisco, on his saint day, is entrusted to retrieve mangos from the tree past his "crabby Tía Clara's house." Bees buzz around the tree, and Francisco must figure out how to outsmart them. Proverbs in Spanish appear throughout the text as family members help him accomplish his goal. Eye-pleasing digitally colored pencil and ink illustrations feature lots of mango-shaped, rounded edges.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
