Review — Holy Mole!
School Library Journal — 10/30/2007
Mexican tradition holds that the dark, aromatic molé sauce was the accidental discovery of either a simple monk or a convent nun. McAlister puts a twist on the tale by introducing Carlos, a young orphan, as the catalyst for the creation of this recipe that combines common ingredients in an unusual way. Simple illustrations support the story, which works well as a read-aloud.
