Even after Uncle Nacho's niece, Ambrosia, replaces his worn-out hat, he has trouble getting rid of it. He is so loyal to the old hat that there seems to be no way to discard it; when he tries, people keep returning it to him. He does manage to give it to another old man - only to have the recipient accused of theft. Finally, wise Ambrosia suggests that he stop worrying about the old hat and wear the new one. This engaging fable, derived from a Nicaraguan folk tale, is appropriately illustrated in bold colors and stylized forms that recall Central American folk art. An entertaining story, doubly useful in this bilingual edition. (Kirkus Reviews)
When Ambrosia gives her Uncle Nacho a new hat, he tries to get rid of his old one, but to no avail. No matter what he does, the pesky hat keeps coming back to him. This classic folktale from the Puppet Workshop of Nicaraguan National Television, vividly illustrated by Mira Reisberg and presented in a bilingual edition, is a parable about the difficulties of making changes and shaking off old habits. The book includes an account of the origins of the story.
