(3) PS Illustrated by Domi. Exuberant watercolors with vibrant hues accompany this Guatemalan folktale about the toad Sapo, who, with a little help from his friends, outsmarts the deer Venado in a race through the jungle. A note explains that the author learned this accessible version of the tortoise and the hare from a contemporary Mayan. Spanish words are nicely integrated throughout.
