This book defines the male species. It's SO typical that they always fight. Really? Grow up. ( )

Two country men bicker all the time on who is more important...brains VS strength. They go out to settle argument once and for all on who will be missed more, and in the end they find out the town enjoyed the peace and quiet. I wasn't too fond of the story line, but I loved the illustrations. The colors were really warm, and I felt as if I was in the story. I also enjoyed how it was a bilingual book. I plan to get a certification on teaching ESL, and this book would be great for kids to learn English, yet still have some Spanish for Latino students. ( )

Your personal response to the book:

I thought this book was great. I enjoyed the pictures and the positive message.

Curricular connections (how you might use it with students in a classroom or school library) or programming connections (how you might use this book in a public library setting).

I think this book might be a fun twist in conjunction with a study in Greek Mythology/and or philosophy. It is fun to imagine Socrates and Hercules arguing in a latino village.
