THE LION WHO SAW HIMSELF IN THE WATER
El león que se vio en el agua
by Idries Shah Illustrated by Ingrid Rodriguez Spanish, translation by Angélica Villagrán de Gonzales. Ages 3 & up.
A good-natured lion is misunderstood by the rest of the jungle animals because of his loud, growling
voice. He bends to drink in a pool and sees a fierce creature staring back at him. He is too frightened to
drink. Just as the lion sees himself in the water, children can see themselves in him. They can use him
as an example to learn to deal positively with fears and inhibitions that arise from situations they as yet
may not understand.

by Idries Shah Illustrated by Natasha Delmar, Spanish translation by Rita Wirkala. Ages 3 & up.

THE SILLY CHICKEN
El pollo bobo
by Idries Shah Illustrated by Jeff Jackson, Spanish translation by Rita Wirkala. Ages 3 & up.
“Set in the Middle East, Shah's retelling of a Sufi story sends a gentle message to readers: just because
someone says it's so, does not make it so...With its simple language and repeating phrases, the story
begs to be told and...colorful illustrations lend a zany accent to the antics. It's a classic case of ‘the sky
is falling’ from an ancient culture, and it still has the ring of truth today.” — School Library Journal
