Holy Molé!: A Folktale from Mexico

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stefan Czernecki. According to legend, mole was accidentally created by monks in Mexico. McAlister's retelling is kid-friendly, and her author's note provides more information about the history of the sauce. Set on a stark white background, the stiff cartoon illustrations are occasionally funny.
