Overview

The sun shines through the windows of Martha's Panadería onto the shelves of freshly baked treats. The bakery holds tray after tray of hot Mexican sweet bread—conchas, orejas, cuernitos, empanadas, and cochinitos—all ready for hungry customers.

In the classic tradition of The Gingerbread Man, James Luna's piggy cookie leaps off the baking tray and takes the reader on a mad dash through the barrio, past Lorenzo's Auto Shop, Nita's Beauty Salon, Leti's Flower Shop, and Juana's Thrift Shop.

The telephone repairman, the bus driver ? each person the piggy encounters is greeted by his laugh and the repeated refrain: "Chase me! Chase me down the street! But this is one piggy you won't get to eat! I ran away from the others and I'll run away from you!" The cochinito fugitivo avoids being eaten by the long line of people chasing him through the neighborhood streets ? until he meets a crafty little girl named Rosa!

Children—and adults too—will delight in the clever piggy's escape from Martha's Panadería in this entertaining re-telling of a familiar story set in a colorful Latino neighborhood. A recipe to make Mexican gingerbread pig cookies is included in both English and Spanish.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
The story of The Gingerbread Man gets a lively Mexican makeover in this bilingual tale, with the title role filled by a freshly baked cochinito cookie that escapes a bakery after being taken out of the oven. Piggy soon has the entire neighborhood in pursuit: a mechanic, salon owner, bus driver, and others all offer to keep Piggy safe, but he's rightfully wary of the steaming mugs of coffee they have handy. "Chase me! Chase me down the street. But this is one piggy you won't get to eat" is his insouciant refrain (though he eventually gets his just desserts). A recipe is included, and given the story, the last step might be the most important: "Place in airtight container." Ages 4–8. (Nov.)
School Library Journal
K-Gr 3—In this version of "The Gingerbread Boy," a pig cookie runs away from the neighborhood panaderia. Readers get a tour of the area as it runs away from the city bus, the owner of a local thrift store, the flower shop, and a coffee shop. The ending provides the one original twist, with a young girl who finally captures the treat turning out to be the daughter of the owner of the panaderia. She gives the pig cookie to her teacher. This adaptation of the familiar folktale with a Latino setting doesn't really add to the original tale. The retelling is a bit text-heavy, exacerbated by two languages on the same page. Because of so much text, the creative design possibilities are limited and may possibly turn off some potential readers. The Spanish title, which translates as The Fugitive Pig, is infinitely better than the English one. That said, the illustrations give a real sense of action, with the pig being chased by an ever-increasing number of people, and his expressions are suitably mischievous. The translation is serviceable, though not particularly imaginative. A recipe for piggy cookies is included. An additional choice where bilingual books are in demand.—Tim Wadham, St. Louis County Library, MO
Kirkus Reviews

The runaway cookie in this Mexican bakery is a soft, brown, stubby-tailed piglet as impertinently bold and smug in his continual escape as his Gingerbread Boy cousin. "Chase me! Chase me down the street. But this is one piggy you won't get to eat! / ¡Córrele, córrele! ¡Y Córrele más! ¡Soy el cochinito que jamás comerás!" This bouncy dual refrain extends the familiar cumulative text, rendered in both English and Spanish, as piggy manages to elude Marta the baker, Lorenzo the mechanic, Mamá Nita the beautician, Joaquín the telephone repairman and a host of other neighborhood adults—until he is outsmarted by Rosa, a little girl on her way to school, who foxily "helps him" cross the street. Safely tucked into her backpack, piggy is both a welcome surprise and an excuse for Rosa's lateness to class. Deep opaque acrylic paintings of a colorful barrio and its residents in pursuit add the right amount of cultural flavor to this vivid Latino retelling. Recipe appended. (Picture book. 3-6)

Chapter One

The morning sun shone through the windows of Marta's Panadería onto the shelves of fresh bread. Conchas, orejas, cuernos and empanadas, warm and fresh, waited for hungry customers.

Marta went to her oven to get the last batch of bread for the day: piggy cookies. She pulled the tray out of the oven and checked the piggies. Brown and soft, the cochinitos looked perfect.

As Marta put the tray down to cool, one piggy jumped off the counter and onto the floor.

Marta pointed to the tray and scolded the piggy, "Get back up there with your brothers!"

The piggy shook his stubby brown tail and sang, "Chase me! Chase me down the street! This is one piggy you won't get to eat!"

Piggy ran out of the bakery and down the sidewalk with Marta following behind.

When he passed Lorenzo's Auto Shop, Lorenzo called, "Careful, Piggy, what's the rush? I have some coffee that you'd love."

Piggy shook his stubby brown tail and sang, "Chase me! Chase me down the street. But this is one piggy you won't get to eat! I ran away from Marta and I'll run away from you!"

Piggy ran through the auto shop and under the old cars, with Lorenzo and Marta chasing him. He ran and ran until he got to Mamá Nita's Beauty Salon.

"Wait, Piggy," Mamá Nita said. "If you come in, I can disguise you so no one will find you."

But Piggy saw the coffee Mamá Nita was brewing. He laughed, shook his stubby brown tail and sang, "Chase me! Chase me down the street. But this is one piggy you won't get to eat!! I ran away from Marta and Lorenzo, and I'll run away from you!"

Piggy jumped on each chair of the salon and ran out with Mamá Nita, Lorenzo and Marta following him. At the corner, Piggy saw Joaquín, the telephone repairman, by his truck.

"Slow down, Piggy. Why don't you hide here?" Joaquín said opening his lunch box.

Piggy shook his stubby brown tail and sang, "Chase me! Chase me down the street. But this is one piggy you won't get to eat! I ran away from Marta, Lorenzo and Mamá Nita, and I'll run away from you!"

Piggy kicked Joaquín's lunch box into the street and ran away with Joaquín, Mamá Nita, Lorenzo and Marta chasing him.

Ernie was sitting outside his music store playing his guitar when Piggy ran up.

"Hey, Piggy, want to hear a song?" Ernie asked.

Piggy laughed, shook his stubby brown tail and sang, "Chase me! Chase me down the street. But this is one piggy you won't get to eat! I ran away from Marta, Lorenzo, Mamá Nita and Joaquín, and I'll run away from you!"

Piggy turned the corner and ran between two large buckets filled with carnations.

"Piggy!" Leti called. "Come hide in my flower shop behind the roses."

Piggy wrinkled his nose, shook his stubby brown tail and sang, "Chase me! Chase me down the street. But this is one piggy you won't get to eat! I ran away from Marta, Lorenzo, Joaquín and Ernie, and I'll run away from you!"

A city bus pulled up next to Piggy. Isabel, the driver, opened the door.

"Get in, Piggy! I'll take you anywhere. No charge."

Piggy saw the coffee mug in the cup holder. He laughed, shook his stubby brown tail and sang, "Chase me! Chase me down the street. But this is one piggy you won't get to eat! I've run away from the others and I'll run away from you!"

Piggy turned another corner and bumped into an old desk in the middle of the sidewalk. Juana was getting her thrift store ready for the day.

"Why are you running, Piggy?" Juana asked. Then she saw the crowd and nodded. "Hey, why not stop here? No one will see you in this old tea pot." She lifted the lid.

Piggy saw the steam rise and laughed, shook his stubby brown tail and sang, "Chase me! Chase me down the street! But this is one piggy you won't get to eat! I ran away from the others and I'll run away from you!"

Piggy turned another corner with the whole neighborhood chasing him.

Piggy got to the last corner of the street. His only hope was to cross, but he was afraid of the cars. A little girl named Rosa walked up and asked, "Where are you going, Piggy?"

"I got away from Marta. I got away from Lorenzo and Mamá Nita. I got away from Joaquín and Ernie. I got away from Leti, Isabel and Juana, and I can get away from you!" said Piggy, out of breath.

"I'm not chasing you. I'm just crossing the street to go to school."

"You know how to cross the street?" Piggy asked. "Can you teach me how?"

Rosa smiled at Piggy and said, "Oh, you're too small. The cars might hit you. You better let me carry you."

"You're lying. You just want to eat me," Piggy said.

Rosa crossed her arms. "I NEVER lie. But I don't care if you don't believe me. I have to cross or else I'm going to be late for school."

The light turned green, and Rosa took a step off the sidewalk. Piggy looked back and saw everyone coming after him.

"Wait!" he called. "Please carry me across."

"Ay! I better not be late," Rosa scolded, as she returned to pick up Piggy. "Come on. Jump in my backpack, or they're going to see you."

Piggy laughed inside the backpack, "Ha! I knew they were too slow. They didn't catch me!" He relaxed and fell asleep after his long run.

Piggy woke up when Rosa opened her backpack. He heard her talking.

"Sorry I'm late, Miss Carranza," Rosa said. "I brought you a fresh piggy cookie from my mom's bakery."

El sol de la mañana brilló a través de las ventanas de la panadería de Marta y sobre los estantes de pan fresco. Las conchas, las orejas, los cuernos y las empanadas, calientitos y frescos, esperaban a los hambrientos clientes.

Marta se dirigió hacia el horno a sacar la última tanda de pan: galletas de cochinito. Sacó la bandeja del horno y revisó los cochinitos. Los cochinitos se veían perfectos: cafecitos y suaves.

Mientras Marta ponía la bandeja a enfríar, un cochinito saltó del mesón al suelo.

Marta apuntó a la bandeja y regañó al cochinito —¡Vuelve allá arriba con tus hermanos!

El cochinito movió su colita café y cortita y cantó —¡Córrele, córrele! ¡Y córrele más! ¡Soy el cochinito que jamás comerás!

Cochinito corrió fuera de la panadería y calle abajo con Marta persiguiéndolo.

Cuando pasó el taller mecánico de Lorenzo, Lorenzo gritó —Cuidado, Cochinito, ¿cuál es el apuro? Tengo un cafecito que te va a encantar.

Cochinito movió su colita café y cortita y cantó —¡Córrele, córrele! ¡Y córrele más! ¡Soy el cochinito que jamás comerás! Escapé de Marta y ¡escaparé de ti!

Cochinito corrió por el taller mecánico y bajo los viejos carros, con Lorenzo y Marta persiguiéndolo. Corrió y corrió hasta que llegó al salón de belleza de Mamá Nita.

—Espera, Cochinito —dijo Mamá Nita—. Si entras te puedo disfrazar para que nadie te reconozca.

Pero Cochinito vio el café que Mamá Nita estaba preparando. Rio, movió su colita café y cortita y cantó —¡Córrele, córrele! ¡Y córrele más! ¡Soy el cochinito que jamás comerás! Escapé de Marta y Lorenzo y ¡escaparé de ti!

Cochinito saltó por cada silla del salón y corrió hacia afuera con Mamá Nita, Lorenzo y Marta persiguiéndolo. En la esquina, Cochinito vio a Joaquín, el técnico de los teléfonos, parado al lado de su camioneta.

—Cuidado, Cochinito. ¿Por qué no te escondes aquí? —preguntó Joaquín y abrió su lonchera.

Cochinito movió su colita café y cortita y cantó —¡Córrele y córrele! ¡Y córrele más! ¡Soy el cochinito que jamás comerás! Escapé de Marta, Lorenzo y Mamá Nita y ¡escaparé de ti!

Cochinito pateó la lonchera de Joaquín hacia la calle y corrió con Joaquín, Mamá Nita, Lorenzo y Marta persiguiéndolo.

Ernie estaba sentado afuera de su tienda de música tocando su guitarra cuando Cochinito pasó corriendo.

—Oye, Cochinito, ¿quieres escuchar una canción? —preguntó Ernie.

Cochinito rio, movió su colita café y cortita y canto —¡Córrele y córrele! ¡Y córrele más! ¡Soy el cochinito que jamás comerás! Escapé de Marta, Lorenzo, Mamá Nita y Joaquín y ¡escaparé de ti!

Cochinito dobló la esquina y corrió entre dos grandes baldes llenos de claveles.

—¡Cochinito! —lo llamó Leti. —Ven a esconderte en mi florería detrás de las rosas.

Cochinito arrugó la nariz, movió su colita cortita y café y cantó —¡Córrele y córrele! ¡Y córrele más! ¡Soy el cochinito que jamás comerás! Escapé de Marta, Lorenzo, Joaquín y Ernie y ¡escaparé de ti!

Un autobús urbano paró al lado de Cochinito. Isabel, la conductora, abrió la puerta.

—¡Súbete, Cochinito! Te llevaré donde quieras. Gratis.

Cochinito vio la taza de café en el portavasos. Rio, movió su colita café y cortita y cantó —¡Córrele y córrele! ¡Y córrele más! ¡Soy el cochinito que jamás comerás! Escapé de todos los otros y ¡escaparé de ti!

Cochinito dobló otra esquina y chocó contra un viejo escritorio en medio de la vereda. Juana estaba preparando su tienda de segunda mano para el día.

—¿Por qué corres, Cochinito? —preguntó Juana. Entonces vio a la multitud y entendió—. ¿Oye, por qué no paras aquí? Nadie te verá en esta vieja tetera. —Juana abrió la tapa.

Cochinito vio salir el vapor y rio, movió su colita cortita y café y cantó —¡Córrele y córrele! ¡Y córrele más! ¡Soy el cochinito que jamás comerás! Escapé de los otros y ¡escaparé de ti!

Cochinito dobló otra esquina con todo el barrio persiguiéndolo.

Cochinito llegó a la última esquina. Su única esperanza era cruzar la calle, pero lo asustaban los carros. Una pequeña niña llamada Rosa caminó hacia él y le preguntó: —¿Adónde vas, Cochinito?

—Escapé de Marta. Escapé de Lorenzo y Mamá Nita. Escapé de Joaquín y de Ernie. Escapé de Leti, Isabel y Juana, y ¡puedo escapar de ti! —dijo Cochinito, casi sin aliento.

—Yo no te estoy persiguiendo. Sólo estoy cruzando la calle para ir a la escuela.

—¿Sabes cómo cruzar la calle? —preguntó Cochinito. —¿Me puedes enseñar?

Rosa le sonrió y dijo —Ay, eres muy chiquitito. Los carros pueden arrollarte. Mejor déjame cargarte.

—Mientes. Quieres comerme —dijo Cochinito.

Rosa cruzó los brazos. —Yo NUNCA miento. Pero no importa si no me crees. Tengo que cruzar la calle o llegaré tarde a la escuela.

La luz cambió a verde y Rosa avanzó un paso hacia la calle. Cochinito miró hacia atrás y los vio a todos corriendo hacia él.

—¡Espera! —gritó. —Por favor cárgame al otro lado.

—¡Ay! Mejor que no se me haga tarde —regañó Rosa mientras volvía a recoger a Cochinito—. Ven. Salta adentro de mi mochila o te van a ver.

Cochinito rio adentro de la mochila. —¡Ja! Sabía que eran muy lentos. ¡No pueden atraparme! —Se relajó y se quedó dormido después de su larga carrera.

Cochinito despertó cuando Rosa abrió su mochila. La escuchó hablando.

—Disculpe que llegué tarde, Señorita Carranza —dijo Rosa. —Le traje una galleta de cochinito fresquita de la panadería de mi mamá.

    A stunning entry in bilingual picture books category! Must read! Bravo!

    James Luna's story is a clever variation on the classic gingerbread man tale. Laura Lacamara's illustrations bring the piggy cookie & other characters to life in a humorous & mischievous way! If you have children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, etc., then don't miss this book! ! !
