Maria Had A Little Llama

419 Words1 Page

The first book that I chose was, Maria Had A Little Llama by Angela Dominguez. This book was a twist on the classic nursery rhyme Mary Had a Little Lamb. It had every page of the rhyme in both Spanish and English. I think this is a good way to introduce another language to young children because it is a rhyme and story that the children are familiar with. Although the story was a little bit different than the original nursery rhyme, it has an adorable twist where the llama follows Maria to school. Maria Had A Little Llama received the Pura Belpre Honor for her Illustrations. She was born in Mexico City and grew up in Texas. Her website is http://www.angeladominguezstudio.com/. The Cazuela That The Farm Maiden Stirred written by Samantha R.
