hopeykatt's review against another edition
5.0
This is a sweet children’s book based on the folktale of where the molé came from-a mistake while making a dish for the Viceroy of Mexico. This is a great book to expose children to a different cuisine, culture, and language. Hispanic/latinx children will definitely get a kick out of seeing this yummy dish being represented.

I read this to a 4 year old who kind of enjoyed it but has definitely never tried molé but seemed to enjoy it, regardless. I think I enjoyed this one more than she did, but it was a cute story!

This is a children’s book based on the folktale around where the Mexican dish molé came from: a mistake in a monastery. I think children who read this may identify with Carlos’s desire to be helpful, and the brothers’ belief that he is a nuisance. Very simple illustrations on plain white pages make it easy for people to read and appreciate.
