1 post | 2 read

Carmen Agra Deedy, New York Times bestselling author and one of Scholastic’s most talented and cherished storytellers, retells a hilarious folktale set in Havana, Cuba. Illustrated by the brilliant, award-winning artist, Henry Cole. This is the first collaboration by this dynamic duo! The trouble started with a parrot and a bad idea. Pepe the parrot was beak over claws in love . . . with a cat! Until . . . ??????? With a gobble and slurp, Carina swallowed that parrot whole! In fact — she ate everyone in her path: A florista and her flowers, the carretaro and his ox, a chivo and his boy — and more! Who will be able to stop this greedy cat? ??????? ????????In this wickedly funny, classic folktale infused with vivid color and Cuban spice, Carmen Agra Deedy and Henry Cole have merged their talents to create an inspiring and satisfying picture book that proves it’s the smallest of creatures who sometimes possess the most surprising strength!

Almost overlooked! This is a folk tale told by the author Carmen Agra Deedy. I've read her Library Dragon outloud 200 times. So my students were intrigued. A little like There was an old Woman, but with the snip of the Grimm's huntsman in Little Red Cap, I don't want to spoil it, but the kids gasped more than once. I heard, "is this real?" First clue, the parrot bakes 100 Cuban crackers.
