These bilingual editions of the well-known tales display a storytelling voice in both languages. The retro-style illustrations in Tortoise reflect the story's humor, while the rich-hued paintings in Aladdin capture the magic of that tale. Spanish-speaking parents and children will delight in the tellings; both volumes may also be useful in classroom collections. Review covers these titles: The Hare and the Tortoise / La liebre y la tortuga and Aladdin and the Magic Lamp / Aladino y la lámpara maravillosa.
