Los Tres Cerdos- Mucho Bueno

'Los Tres Cerdos' is an absolutely brilliant bilingual book. Bobbi Salinas has created an excellent socio/political version of the classic 'Three Little Pigs'. It is full of good humor, exquisite southwestern illustrations, and intelligently presented morality lessons. Side-by-side translated English/Spanish text is an excellent learning tool for children of all ages. The detailed images, full of local venacular in both languages, are a fine read in their own right. I love it as a former Hawaii, New York City and currently Albuquerque resident/artist. I believe you will too. I bought this book in 1998 for the original $17.95. I just paid $24.99 and am very happy to have replaced the first copy I gave as a gift to a child. NOTE: It is such ashame thatthis book is out-of-print and some vendors are asking outrageous prices (up to $398.). Please someone reprint, so more people can enjoy this great book!

A colorful version of the three pigs a la latino

The tres cerdos brings beautiful illustrations of the true lifestyles of many latinos/mexican-americans living here in the U.S. My third grade students love it especially the fun and detailed pictures. Those children of latino/mexican-american decent can relate to the lifestyles and the children of other decents can learn and appreciate the beauty of the culture. I would give it five stars *****.
