An information-dense story of an Argentinian girl's summer on her grandparent's estancia on the pampas. Her adventures pique the imagination: swimming in the creek, being pulled by her horse, stealing a nandu egg to make her grandmother a birthday cake, rounding up cattle with the gauchos, and so on. Appeals to boys and girls.
This is a story about a little girl who lives with her grandparents for the summer on a ranch in Argentina.The illustrations depict the culture and are most likely handdrawn in muting colors.
