Product Description

I am three years old
I am so strong
I am so smart
Look at what I own!

In this bilingual (Spanish/English) very early reader, Little Lalo receives inspiration from the famous Mexican lotería game. Since Lalo is the King of Things and three years old besides, he plays the cards and counts as his possessions the sun, the moon, a lion, a fish, a clown, a train, the crown on his head. Each card in Lalo's kingdom has its own page, illustrated with a playful brightly colored woodcut.

Born in Tacámbaro, Michoacán, Artemio Rodriguez is a woodcut artist known for his prints in Dagoberto Gilb's Woodcuts of Women. He lives and works in Los Angeles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Make-Believe Kingdom, December 11, 2006
By Daniel Olivas (West Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Artemio Rodríguez is one of the most exciting artists working today. He now brings us a delightful bilingual picture book, "The King of Things / El rey de las cosas" (Cinco Puntos Press, $14.95 hardcover). Using the well-known Mexican game of lotería as his inspiration, Rodríguez tells the story of a little boy named Lalo who proudly trumpets: "I am three years old. I am so strong, I am so smart, look at what I own!" With a youthful glee that is infectious, Lalo informs us of the colorful characters that inhabit his make-believe kingdom. And as children often do, he places himself at the center of each lotería image, from el gallo to la luna, from la sirena to el tecolote. [This review first appeared in the El Paso Times.]

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful and fun-filled introduction to the connections between two languages and cultures especially for the very young., November 5, 2006
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Written by Artemio Rodriguez, The King of Things is an easy reader English/Spanish picturebook that introduces the very young to the famous Mexican game, Loteria. Loteria is a game of chance like bingo, using pictures instead of numbers and letters; each two-page spread of The King of Things shows a picture of something, its name in English, and its name in Spanish, such as "A heron / una garza" and "A little devil / Un diablito". A wonderful and fun-filled introduction to the connections between two languages and cultures especially for the very young.
