review:
'The Snow and the Sun/La Nieve y el Sol: A South American Folk Rhyme in Two Languages' by Antonio Frasconi is full of the author's woocuts, which is the reason I liked this book.

The story here is from a textbook from Argentina with translation by the author. The story starts with a simple question about why the snow hurts our feet, and continues to build on a causal list of things that are interrelated. The narrative runs from snow to sun to rat and cat to man and on and on, finally coming back to snow.

Originally published in 1961, I liked the bilingual nature of the text. I really liked the original woodcuts present here in multiple colors.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Dover Publications and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
