Agua, Agua, Agua

A crow with a stone in its beak
By: Pat Mora
Illustrated by: Jose Ortega
Age Level: 3-6

Crow knows where to find water amid rocks and how to get it even though it's below the reach of his beak. The predictable patterns and repetition of words in this simple retelling of one of Aesop's Fables invites participation. Bold illustrations use broad shapes and confident line in strong borders contained in a small format ideal for a new reader or to share on a lap.
