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)
