(Bilingual English-Spanish edition / Edición bilingüe inglés-español) This story tells how a woman loses an apple down a hole in the ground and then makes a series of attempts to retrieve it. Children love chanting the action sequence of this cumulative tale from memory, but when the plot takes a sudden turn that's contrary to all expectations, they also learn important lessons about the nature of problem solving and discovery. The strikingly beautiful illustrations by Rose Mary Santiago invoke the origins of the story - which comes from the Sufi tradition and 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 tale.


Esta historia cuenta cómo una mujer pierde una manzana por un agujero en el suelo y luego hace una serie de intentos para recuperarla. A los niños les encanta recitar de memoria la secuencia de acciones de este cuento acumulativo, pero cuando la trama da un giro repentino que es contrario a todas las expectativas, también aprenden lecciones importantes sobre la naturaleza de la resolución de problemas y el descubrimiento. Las ilustraciones sorprendentemente hermosas de Rose Mary Santiago invocan los orígenes de la historia - que proviene de la tradición sufí y se viene contando durante cientos de años en el Medio Oriente y Asia Central - mientras que al mismo tiempo dan un ambiente lúdico único a este cuento tan divertido.
