Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Stavans's tale is interesting, with the interweaving of Jewish and Latino backgrounds unique. This book would be a good read-aloud." --Trevelyn Jones, School Library Journal
"This picture book addresses the problem of bullying and offers an original blend of Jewish and Aztec culture and folklore." --Kirkus Reviews
"Teresa Villegas' boldly rendered prints, coupled with the use of the non-traditional Anastasia font for Ilan Stavan's story, make for a beautifully illustrated and designed book. A welcome addition to the growing canon of golem stories for children." --Association of Jewish Libraries Reviews
"The award-winning author and illustrator have created something unique in Golemito. The marriage of the Latino and Jewish cultures is extremely appealing and the graphic illustrations are evocative and arresting." --Jewish Book World
"Take a trip down to Mexico City for a tale of ingenuity and courage. Aztec poetry and the Jewish legend of the Golem of Prague are creatively mixed to inspire resilience against the playground bully." --Jewish Family Times
"Golemito does a superb job of uniquely blending two cultures while dealing with the topic of classroom bullies. The beautiful two- color, woodcut style illustrations complement the story without distracting from the message, all the while lending an air of authenticity to the text. A great read aloud book." --Journal of Language and Literacy Education

Reseña del editor:

Tormented by bullies at their Jewish school in Mexico, Sammy Nurko asks his friend Ilan to help build and control, a small, Aztec version of the legendary Golem, then finds his own strength through the poetry of Nezahualcoyotl.
