Full of fiesta fun and easy Spanish vocabulary, this fun twist on The Little Red Hen is sure to delight young readers.

Iguana wants to throw a party Everyone thinks it's a great idea, but when she asks her friends to help, they're full of excuses. Conejo writes too fast, so no one could read the invitations if he wrote them. Tortuga can't deliver them because he walks so slowly. Culebra would be happy to help cook... if only he had arms. Maybe ma ana, Iguana

But when Iguana doesn't let them join the party, Tortuga, Culebra, and Conejo realize they've let their friend down. Tired out from hard work and good fun, Iguana goes to sleep-- she'll clean up ma ana-- and her three friends come up with a way to make it up to her and fix their friendship.

Bright, cartoonish illustrations bring this simple tale to life, and a glossary explains all the Spanish words used in the story, including the days of the week. This is a great read-aloud with a heartwarming ending.

Industry Reviews

Iguana is planning a fiesta. Tortuga the tortoise, Conejo the hare, and Culebra the snake all want to come. But do they want to help prepare? No! A lazy trio loses out in this clever update of the story of the Little Red Hen with a Mexican twist. A glossary of Spanish words is included. "Has a lot of appeal...a first choice for all libraries" --School Library Journal
