Illus. in full color. What's a little lamb to do about a big, oafish coyote

that wants to eat her? Why, trick him, of course! "This folk tale from the west

of Mexico is energetically told and comfortably packed with many recognizable

motifs. Mathers enlarges upon the humorous elements of the story in her boldly

colored paintings. Aardema and Mathers are felicitously paired in a tale of

trickery rewarded that begs to be read aloud. A glossary to correct Spanish

pronunciation is conveniently placed at the beginning of the tale."--(starred)
