Darling

I just love this book. I really appreciated the recipe in the back of the book - Huevos Rancheros just like my grandmother used to make.

A brave and clever hen must outsmart a coyote

Huevos Rancheros: A Mexican Tale is written and illustrated by Stefan Czernecki. Here is the folklore story of a Mexican trickster, the tale of a brave and clever hen who must outsmart a coyote through charm and good cooking. Boldly colored illustrations bring this vivid children's story into sharp relief, and the last page offers an easy-to-follow recipe for young people who want to make and try Huevos Rancheros. Also highly recommended for school and library collections is Stefan Czernecki's previous folklore-based picturebook for young readers, Mama God, Papa God: A Caribbean Tale (1566563070, $15.95).
