Later in the week, the stranger again appears in town. And a few days later, on a pleasant Sunday morning, the man shows his frightening face yet again. But this time, heÂs not alone. Cradled in the strangerÂs arms is a big, red rooster with a yellow ribbon tied around its neck. When the rooster sets off after a bug with the stranger hanging on to the ribbon "like a cowboy who had lassoed a wild bull," the townspeople are finally able to look past the long, ugly scar on the strangerÂs face.
Echoing the oral tradition common to so many Latinos, acclaimed author Victor Villaseñor shares with young readers one of his fatherÂs favorite stories. With vibrant illustrations by José Jara, this will soon become the favorite of many children aged 3 to 7.

"Villaseñor’s attention to Mother Fox’s delight in her children and her open awareness that she too is a carnivore make this not only a worthy addition to earlier coyote stories, but also a pointed reminder of the cycle of the wild." -Kirkus Reviews on Mother Fox and Mr. Coyote / Mamá Zorra y Don Coyote
"...with vibrant, stylized illustrations and swirling backgrounds of brilliant colors...The text offer[s] great opportunities for reading alone or dramatizing as a play." -Booklist on The Frog and His Friends Save Humanity / La rana y sus amigos salvan a la humanidad
"...intensely colored, stylized art shows a natural world full of bright sunlight, richly shadowed crow feathers, and backgrounds with subtle layers of color...strength lies in its traditional origins, its striking illustrations, and the overall message that, occasionally, children can teach their parents a thing or two." -Booklist on Little Crow to the Rescue / El Cuervito al rescate
