Rosalia is in debt to the strange little snake man after he teaches
her how to make tortillas so light they float in the air! Can she
outsmart the trickster and keep her freedom?
"Kimmel retells 'Rumpelstiltskin' with a Southwestern bent. This tale
stands on its own while paying homage to the original and includes
Spanish words throughout the text. Colored-pencil drawings by first-time
illustrator Camarca invoke the traditional Southwestern landscape and
dress and complement the story well. . . An enjoyable play on an old
favorite that will be a sound addition to most picture book
collections."
--School Library Journal
"From renowned children's book author Eric A. Kimmel comes this
delightful re-imagining of the classic Rumplestiltskin folktale with a
Southwestern setting and Spanish vocabulary. Of special note are the
delightful illustrations of Erin Camarca that perfectly support this
original adaptation to a vintage fairy tale. Thoroughly 'kid friendly'
in tone and presentation, Rattlestiltskin is an especially recommended
picture book for children ages 4 to 8 and will prove to be an enduringly
popular addition to family, preschool, elementary school, and community
library collections."
