Federico and the Magi's Gift: A Latin American Christmas Story

40 pp. | Knopf | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-375-82518-5 $15.95 | Library ISBN 0-375-92518-X $17.99
(2) K-3 Federico, who lives in an unnamed Latin American country, worries that on Epiphany Day the Three Wise Men won't bring him a gift because he has misbehaved. His age-appropriate concerns give this tale universal appeal, and dreamlike illustrations are suffused with the magic of the season. A glossary translates the few Spanish words sprinkled throughout the text.
