About Manana, Iguana
Product description Iguana is planning a fiesta, but her lazy trio of friends 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. Review "An excellent chance for young readers to practice using context clues and to learn some Spanish vocabulary."— Kirkus Reviews "The lively, entertaining text will hold the attention of young readers. The illustrations are equally appealing, giving choice expressions to Iguana as well as the lazy animals."— The Horn Book "Vibrant cartoon illustrations in watercolors and gouache propel the text, clearly revealing Iguana's joys, anger, and frustration. . . . A first choice"— School Library Journal A Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year About the Author Ann Whitford Paul was a social worker before becoming a writer.
