In this sequel to Northland's first bilingual book Carlos and the Squash Plant, Carlos learns what his father means when he says,"Cosechas lo que siembras—you reap what you sow." In his haste to finish planting the cornfield to earn money for a pocketknife, Carlos drops too many seeds in each row. Although this story is told in only two languages, English and Spanish, the lessons and consequences are universal, making this a must-read for children of the Southwest and beyond.

Jan Romero Stevens and is also the author of Twelve Lizards Leaping: A New Twelve Days of Christmas, Carlos and the Carnival, Carlos and the Squash Plant, Carlos and the Skunk, and Carlos Digs to China.

Jeanne Arnold lives in Salt Lake City, UT and is also the illustrator of Carlos and the Carnival, Carlos and the Squash Plant, Carlos and the Skunk, and Carlos Digs to China.
