A good introduction to Don Quizote de la Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho.

vary funny it's just like the movie but better because you can Imagen it

It was kind of funny when Don Quixote tried to attack the windmill. The farmer tried to stop him but Don Quixote got caught in the ropes of the windmill. That was interesting because he didn't recognize that it was a windmill until after, then he said a wizard turned them into windmills.

Logan is 6.5 and very much involved with knights and the ideas of chivalry, good guys/bad guys, and the trappings and weapons of the era. Also, we've been reading lots of folk tales to give him a good basis for cultural references and mores. Kimmel's retelling of the main Don Quixote story for early grade school age is charming and funny. Fisher's illustrations are terrific; colorful and full of expression, my favorite being one that shows the windmills as huge and the charging Don Quixote and Sancho Panza as small, but determined. L is just old enough to find the physical humor of DQ and SP being swept aloft by the sails of the windmill very funny. After lots of British and French tales filled with perfectly noble and valiant knights, it was nice to read a gently humorous tale where the knight is well-intentioned, but full of human foibles. Perhaps he's tilting at windmills, but he's still a good man.

Adaptation good for read aloud. Interesting biographical note about Cervantes.

A great retelling! I would also love to see some sequels with a few more of Don Quixote’s adventures. He is most famous for the windmills.

Nicely-written kids' (say 3 to 10) version of the intro and first adventure of DQ.

Tremendously entertaining illustrations and witty writing!

Hilarious retelling of Don Quixote battle's with the windmills. This is a great introduction to Don Quixote as a mad knight and and Sancho Panza as his squire that tries to talk some sense into him.

The play based on this book "Dulcinea del Toboso" was awesome as well.

It may be hard to engage students into history, but this book is engaging and hilarious that they will be engaged without even knowing that they are learning history. Don Quixote a warrior does not know that word giving up, always fights and works hard for what he wants. I feel that students could see him as heroic or as a learning guide.

GREAT introduction to this classic book!
