5.0 out of 5 stars English and Spanish in the same book

What is Sebastian to do? The family pig, Frederick, is on trial and Sebastian can't seem to do anything to save him from this injustice. He is, after all, only a child. Children can read this exciting medieval tale in both English and Spanish. A great way for young people to learn English or Spanish by reading the story in both languages, at the same time.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting medieval tale in two languages
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2015

This story was quite a surprise. It's not at all what I expected from the cover. It takes place in the fourteenth century, and tells an interesting tale. I like that it's bilingual so children can learn to read it in two languages. I wish the cover would better reflect the good story within; this one makes it look like it will be a simple barnyard tale for younger children. Don't let that stop you from reading it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kitty Muse Book Reviews
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2016
Sebastian lives on a farm with his loving family and his good friend Fredrick. All is well, until Fredrick is arrested for murder.
How a pig could be considered a murderer is beyond anyone’s understanding. Sebastian and his father go into town to bring Fredrick back--but a trial is a trial, and there is no stopping this one, no matter how ludicrous the charge.
Who could accuse a pig of a crime like this? And does the random mutterings of a drunkard lend any clues to the mystery? Sebastian and his father must find out before it is too late.

This is a clever, engaging story on its own merits, but there’s as added bonus of the story being written in both English and Spanish. The languages alternate pages, which seems a good idea, especially for someone trying to learn either one. Even if the reader is not interested in learning a different language, it can be a lot of fun to go over the foreign-language page and see what can be guessed.
It’s a perfect story for anyone, whether a student of English/Spanish or just a casual reader. I loved it!

4.0 out of 5 stars enjoyable bilingual medieval tale
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2016
Poor Fredrick! He was innocently minding his own business when soldiers showed up and arrested him, and ten-year-old Sebastian could do nothing about it. When Father came home, immediately the decision was made to go and sort out the misunderstanding. He took Sebastian with him, and what transpires is not quite as easy a rescue as expected. Fredrick was slated to be executed, and Fredrick is the family’s pet pig!

Imagine medieval times, bizarre accusations, a pig on trial and the efforts to rescue him – as told by a ten-year-old boy. Now you have an interesting story. Plus it’s in two languages – English and Spanish.

5.0 out of 5 stars A medieval and humorous fable / Una humorística fábula medieval
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2016
The front cover resembles of a farm tale, but this interesting medieval time story is as good as Aesop or Rafael Pombo fables. The story takes place in the fourteenth century, a family pig, Frederick, is on trial for murder and Sebastian can't do anything to save him from this injustice, but at the end of the story the innocent pig is saved by the town butcher. An ironic and fun end.
The combination side by side in English and Spanish made bilingual readers follow the lines in harmony.

La portada resembla un cuento de granja, pero ésta interesante historia de época medieval es tan buena como las fábulas de Esopo o Rafael Pombo. La historia tiene lugar en el siglo XIV, un cerdito familiar, Frederick, está en juicio por asesinato y Sebastián no puede hacer nada para salvarlo de esta injusticia, pero al final de la historia el inocente cerdito es salvado por el carnicero de la ciudad, Oliver. Un irónico y divertido final.
La combinación lado alado de página en inglés y español hace que los lectores bilingües puedan leer en armonía.

5.0 out of 5 stars A medieval 'thriller' for kids from 8 to 80
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2015
A fable as good as any by Aesop. The wisdom and insights behind this medieval 'thriller' will benefit kids from 8 to 80. An added bonus is the Spanish/English version side by side. Darlene is a great story teller.

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprising and enjoyable tale.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 27, 2015

This book surprised me in several ways. I had been expecting a simple tale, with the sort of basic level of Spanish I would be able to follow with my very limited knowledge of the language. The book is in fact quite advanced in terms of language, and the story itself is well told and unusual. From the cover I think I had been expecting a picture book, but the story is told solely in text, with English on the left hand pages and Spanish on the right. I only read it to myself but I think it would be a really good book to read out loud to children.
