by Lois Ehlert and Gloria De Aragon Andujar. Ehlert's stunning Pre-Columbian palette has a strikingly contemporary appearance. Even though Cuckoo was admired for her lovely voice and bright feathers, a little goes a long way when one is also vain and lazy. In short notes written at the end of the tale for interested older readers Ehlert writes that Athe illustrations were inspired by a variety of Mexican crafts and folk art, including cut-paper fiesta banners, tin work, textiles, metal milagros, clay 'tree of life' candelabra, and wooden toys and sculptures.

One of my son’s favorite books. He asks me to read it in English and then Spanish often. We also bought other books by the same author. There is a good moral to the story. The illustrations are vivid and spark the imagination. They are easy enough for your child to craft their own Cuckoo from construction paper just like the one in the book.

Lois Ehlert is one of my favorite authors. Her books are so visually stimulating. I love the way she uses colors, textures and words to make the story take on a life of its own. Very creative and ..........bilingual, too!
