| Kindergarten-Grade 3?Carlos longs for the beautiful red pocket knife that he admires in Se?or Lopez's store. In order to earn money, he agrees to help his father plant el maiz (corn). Papa tells him to only put three seeds in each hole so the plants will have plenty of space to grow. Carlos despairs of ever finishing and decides to fill the holes with four, five, and six kernels. He gets his knife but when corn begins to grow, the boy realizes what a big mistake he has made. Instead of telling Papa, he sets out to fix things himself, with humorous results. As she did in Carlos and the Squash Plant (Northland, 1993), Stevens shows her insight into how a child's mind works. Youngsters will appreciate and sympathize with Carlos as he learns the lesson of "You reap what you sow." Arnold's oil paintings capture the mood of the story and reflect the Hispanic background of the Southwest. The page layout is consistent throughout, with the English passage at the top and the Spanish translation below. The format of the text and pictures makes this an ideal choice for story time in English or Spanish.?Maria Redburn, Collier County Public Library, Immokalee, FL

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| We speak Spanish and want our children to learn, so we purchased this book. The story is fun and the pictures are nice. We read it to them in Spanish, and they read it in English, as it has both languages. Our hopes are that when they become familiar with the story, they will read it in Spanish too!
