About This Book

The story of The Farmer's Wife tells how a woman first loses an apple into a hole in the ground, and then attempts a series of efforts to get it back. Children enjoy learning to repeat the sequence from memory, and when the story takes a sudden turn, contrary to all expectations, they also learn important lessons on how to resolve problems creatively.

The strikingly beautiful illustrations by Rose Mary Santiago invoke the origins of the story -- this traditional story has been told for hundreds of years in the Middle East and Central Asia -- while at the same time lending a uniquely playful atmosphere to this very amusing story.

Este es el cuento acumulativo de los esfuerzos de una mujer para recuperar una manzana ca da dentro de un agujero en el suelo. Los ni os disfrutar n al aprender de memoria sus frases muy predecibles. Pero cuando un evento inesperado cambia la direcci n del cuento, sus expectativas recibir n un sacud n muy divertido, y aprender n lecciones importantes sobre la resoluci n de problemas y el valor del descubrimiento.

Las ilustraciones llamativas de Rose Mary Santiago evocan los or genes del cuento, y al mismo tiempo a aden una atm sfera nica de juego a este cuento gracioso.
