5.0 out of 5 stars
Will appeal to children age 6 and up,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Juan and the Jackalope: A Children's Book in Verse (Hardcover)
"Juan and the Jackalope: A Children's Book in Verse" is a SouthWestern take on a tall tale in which the hero, Juan, on the super extraordinary Jackalope, actually takes on the legendary Pecos Bill in the Great Grasshopper Race. Juan desperately wants to win because the prize is beautiful Rosita and her rhubarb pie, and of course he is in love with her (and her pie and beans). "Juan and the Jackalope" poses a set of amazing circumstances in verse to tell a very tall tale, using wonderful mythical characters from Southwestern tradition such as La Llorona, the Crying Woman, and Kookooee, a sort of troll-skeleton ghost figure among others. Colorfully captioned with imaginative illustrations by Amy Cordova, "Juan and the Jackalope" is Rudolfo Anaya's latest bicultural effort to share his rich heritage and memories with a new generation of children. Most likely it will continue in the award-winning tradition of his earlier efforts such as "Bless Me, Ultima" and "The First Tortilla: A Bilingual Story." "Juan and the Jackalope" will appeal to children age 6 and up.
