Coming in 2011!
The Cazuela That the Farm Maiden Stirred
Available February 2011 - Charlesbridge - Illustrated by Rafael López
"This is the pot that the farm maiden stirred.
This is the butter
that went into the cazuela that the farm maiden stirred.
This is the goat
that churned the cream
to make the mantequilla
that went into the cazuela that the farm maiden stirred."
"When a farm girl starts cooking, all the animals want to help. The cow contributes milk, the
hen offers eggs, and even the duck makes a special trip to the market. While the pot is bubbling
merrily on the stove, everyone dances and sings - but who is watching the cazuela?
Samantha R. Vamos and Rafael López serve up a spicy tribute to the classic nursery rhyme
"The House That Jack Built" in this bilingual celebration of community and food."
In this amusing tale of five farm animals, their farmer and a farm girl, the action builds and the
Spanish words repeat. At the book's end, a glossary with pronunciation and recipe are provided.
