About this product
Product Information
A prized apple tree, a dangerous bet, and a beautiful young woman--can Juan Verdades still be truthful by the end of the two-week bet? Un manzano preciado, una apuesta peligrosa y una hermosa joven: ¿puede Juan Verdades seguir siendo sincero al final de la apuesta de dos semanas? Juan Verdades is an honest man. His employer, don Ignacio, owns a fine apple tree that produces delicious fruit, and he trusts only Juan to care for the tree. Don Ignacio is so sure of Juan's honesty that he enters into a dangerous bet with another rancher, don Arturo. Each man wagers his entire ranch. Don Ignacio is confident in Juan's inability to lie. But don Arturo is determined to prove he can make Juan tell a lie. Juan has no idea how greatly he is being tested. Nor does Juan realize that don Arturo's beautiful young daughter is doing all she can to make him fail. Will Juan's truthful nature triumph, or will don Ignacio lose everything, including his beloved apple tree? Juan Verdades es un hombre honesto. Su patrón, don Ignacio, es dueño de un manzano real que produce frutos deliciosos, y solo confía en Juan para cuidar el árbol. Don Ignacio está tan seguro de la honestidad de Juan que hace una peligrosa apuesta con otro ganadero, don Arturo. Cada hombre apuesta todo su rancho. Don Ignacio confía en la incapacidad de Juan para mentir. Pero don Arturo está decidido a demostrar que puede hacer que Juan mienta. Juan no tiene idea de lo mucho que lo están probando. Juan tampoco se da cuenta de que la hermosa joven hija de don Arturo está haciendo todo lo posible para que fracase. ¿Triunfará la naturaleza veraz de Juan, o perderá todo don Ignacio, incluido su amado manzano?

Reviews
"Hayes's flowing plot, enlivened by several wry twists, is decidedly satisfying. Spanish words and phrases dot the characters' dialogue, enhancing the regional flavor. Fiedler's (The Crystal Heart) spare, earth-toned paintings convey the particulars of the setting from traditional garb to the sprawling landscapes as well as the timelessness of folklore." -- Publishers Weekly "This is a beautifully done picture book. . .The story is rich and will provide much for young readers to think about, long after the tale is told." -- Children's Literature, "Hayes's retelling of this tale is masterful. . . As a read-aloud, this story would be likely to evoke some lively discussion about honesty, and right and wrong." -- School Library Journal "Hayes's sprinkling of Spanish phrases provide an authentic historical northern New Mexico setting that gives the story a strong sense of time and place, making this an interesting and unusual addition to folklore collections." -- Kirkus Reviews "Flowing plot, enlivened by several wry twists, is decidedly satisfying. Spanish words and phrases dot the characters' dialogue, enhancing the regional flavor. . . Spare, earth-toned paintings convey the particulars of the setting from traditional garb to the sprawling landscapes as well as the timelessness of folklore." -- Publishers Weekly "Hayes incorporates a sense of Spanish culture and vocabulary in his charming, romantic folktale, set in the old Southwest. The prose is almost lyrical, and the Spanish words are well defined in context. The artwork, in rich, earthy tones, is equally effective whether showing sweeping desert vistas or close-ups of the characters. An author's note describes the tale's origins and the changes Hayes has made in this version. A good choice for multicultural story times." -- Booklist, "Hayes's retelling of this tale is masterful...

A skeptical friend, Don Arturo, tries desperately to cause the capataz, whom they call Juan Verdades, to stray from the truth so that he can win Don Ignacio's ranch. Complications arise when Don Arturo's daughter and Juan Verdades fall in love. In the end, the story comes full circle: la verdad reigns and no one loses.Originally a Spanish tale from the early 20th century, Juan Verdades is retold by Joe Hayes in a way that is easier to follow than traditional folktales. Like other bilingual books, this one has the full English and Spanish prose on each page, making it simple to understand, no matter your level in either language, the flow of events and gorgeous paintings hold even a young child's attention." -- Spanglish Baby The title says it all -- can a truthful man be made to lie? In a pueblo full of foolish men who enjoy gambling in the village plaza, wealthy ranchero Don Ignacio bets Don Arturo that Juan, his faithful foreman, will never lie. Juan's real name is Juan Valdez, but everyone calls him Juan Verdades because he has never told a falsehood. Juan is caretaker of Don Ignacio's fine apple tree, el manzano real, "the royal apple tree," that produces the sweetest fruit in the countryside. The stakes are high whoever wins gets the other man's ranch. Juan has never lied before but his limits will be tested when he begins to fall for the bright and lively Araceli, who wants him to steal the apples so that her father, Don Arturo, wins the bet. Can Araceli get Juan Verdades to lie for the sake of love, or will he continue to be a truthful man? Joseph Fiedler's warm paintings make it easy to picture the people, the colorful dress, and the dusty village plaza. Written in both English and Spanish. It is a book that will be enjoyed in both languages by all ages, especially people who like the challenge of clever riddles. -- New Mexcico Kids!, "Hayes's retelling of this tale is masterful and he manages to introduce several Spanish words without disturbing the flow of the text. The full-page paintings capture a distinct landscape and costume and convey the quiet drama of the story. . . . As a read-aloud, this story would be likely to evoke some lively discussion about honesty, and right and wrong." -- School Library Journal "Hayes's sprinkling of Spanish phrases provide an authentic historical northern New Mexico setting that gives the story a strong sense of time and place, making this an interesting and unusual addition to folklore collections." -- Kirkus Reviews "Hayes's flowing plot, enlivened by several wry twists, is decidedly satisfying.
