FROM THE CRITICS
"The design is handsome, and Fransconi's full-page, colored woodcuts are bold and beautiful, expressing the energy and gentleness of the writing . . . teachers will find rich material here for creative writing projects in both Spanish and English."
Criticas - Ann Welton, Grant Center for the Expressive Arts, Tacoma, WA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
Gr 4-6-Jimenez's classic tale of a poet's travels through Andalucia with his faithful donkey is a wonderful example of quietly evocative language and the contemplative voice. The 19 vignettes presented here from the original (much longer) work will give teachers rich material for creative writing projects in both English and Spanish. A celebration of community, affection, and friendship-a potent combination for launching a new school year.
