title: Chiles for Benito/Chiles Para Benito (English and Spanish Edition)
author:  Ana Baca 
description: Kindergarten-Grade 2-One September morning, young Cristina and her grandmother pick bright red chiles and string them to dry. When the child is dismayed at the bushels and bushels that await them, her abuela tells her the story of great-grandfather Benito and his bizcochitos mgicos. In the tradition of "Jack and the Beanstalk," the young Benito trades the family cow for some magic seeds. After much tribulation, he eventually succeeds as the first chile farmer, and all ends well with the returned cow, spicy food, and a happy community. Accardo's pen-and-ink and colored-pencil illustrations have a fresh yet classic look. Clear colors, great expression, and satisfying use of detail make the art appealing to the eye and a perfect match for the tale's fanciful tone. The text, as good in Spanish as it is in English, reads aloud well despite its length. Francesc Bofill's Jack and the Beanstalk/Juan y los frijoles magicos (Chronicle, 1998) presents a stylish version of the traditional story, but collections can easily accommodate both titles. The appended recipe for red chile sauce is a plus for budding cooks.<br />Copyright  Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
