Twenty-Five Mixtec Cats   

Matthew Gollub and Leovigildo Martinez     

  Price:  $13.95 
(hardback, like new may have remainder mark and/or shelf-wear)  

Description:                A fanciful tale that used the backdrop of an Oaxacan Village to convey the message that people should be open to people (or in this case cats) who are different.  The plot focuses on an Oaxacan village healer who takes in 25 Mixtec cats.  The suspicious villagers, led by the butcher, are unfamiliar with cats and try to rid the village of the cats using an evil spell.  The spell doesn't quite work as planned and the cats end up as village heroes.  Artwork by an Oaxacan artist and the interweaving of folk traditions add to this original fictional tale by Gollub.  The pictures are neat, but they may seem a bit strange to younger children.  Condition: new hardback with small remainder mark.

Age:                          6-10  

Keywords:                Mexico, fiction, cats, magic, Oaxaca
