Illustrated by
Diane Greenseid.
When restaurateur Don Carlos, who always wants más (more), gathers too many snails for his menu, they take over the village. Alonzo, his little brother, recruits birds to eat the snails but is stuck with the pigs he recruits to scare off the birds. Like the story, the bold illustrations, featuring scenes of people and animals milling around adobe buildings, are vivacious and amusing.
