Maria Had a Little Llama / María Tenía Una Llamita by Angela Dominguez
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a sweet book that takes the familiar nursery rhyme, Mary Had a Little Lamb, and changes it to be about a little girl named Maria, who has a white llama. The illustrations look to be Peruvian (or perhaps Bolivian). The text is in two languages, English and Spanish.
Recommended for teachers who have their students re-write familiar folk tales and nursery rhymes for different cultures and time periods. Pair with a book that has the original, in case the children are not familiar with it.
