The cazuela that the farm maiden stirred

The farm maiden stirs up a big pot of arroz con leche with the help of the cabra and the vaca and the pato and the burro in this new version of the old classic, The House that Jack Built. Illustrated with brilliant colors and injected with a nice collection of words in Spanish, this book was enjoyed very much by a class of bilingual students at my school.

“This is the duck
that went to the market
to buy the sugar
to flavor the leche
made fresh by the vaca
while teaching the cabra
that churned the crema
to make the mantequilla
that went into the cazuela that the farm maiden stirred.”
