Summary: Somewhere in the wilderness of Espaa... lived a poor hidalgo who dreamed of one day becoming a knight. Day after day, noche tras noche he read books of heroes and adventures, until one day something inside of him snapped! Follow the misadventures of Don Quijote and his friend Sancho Panza as they travel across Spain battling imaginary villains.
Based on the classic novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, our adventure unfolds in both English and Spanish, abounds in colorful illustrations and told as a shadow puppet performance. It's a story that's part hero on a quest (Quijote), part puppet show (tteres), and all silly. An informative Glossary of historical, cultural, and linguistic references and information about Don Quixote and Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra rounds out this robust book. The language used is entertaining and memorable, which makes this a great resource for those learning Spanish or English.Better still is the inclusion of a "how to" create your own shadow puppets. If you like crazy, silly, and funny books and Don Quixote you will love this book.
Recommended Age: 4-12, and beyond.
