Elizabeth O. Dulemba.
In this southwestern-flavored folktale retelling, Jack is replaced by Paco and his beanstalk by a gigantic chile plant. Spanish words are sprinkled throughout the English-language text, adding spice and facilitating learning of simple Spanish vocabulary. Desert-hued pencil and digital illustrations nicely enhance the telling--with a twist ending. Glos.
