Carina Felina

Carmen Agra Deedy, New York Times best-selling author and one of Scholastic's most talented and cherished storytellers, retells a hilarious folktale set in Havana Cuba. Illustrated by the brilliant, award-winning artist, Henry Cole. This is the first collaboration by this dynamic duo! The trouble started with a parrot and a bad idea. Pepe the parrot was beak-over-claws in love...with a cat! Until.... ...With a gobble and slurp, Carina swallows that parrot whole! In fact--she eats everyone in her wake! A florista and her flowers, the carretaro and his ox, a chivo and his boy--and more! Who will be able to save the villagers from this bully of a cat? In a surprise turn of events, it's the smallest creatures of all who are able to overtake the mighty Carina Felina and show her that power does not always guarantee a victory! ??????? Carmen Deedy's wickedly funny retelling combined with Henry Cole's hilarious, vividly colored artwork, combine to create an inspiring and satisfying story.???????
