Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 3-This visually pleasing alphabet book pays tribute to the artwork of the Kuna Indians of the San Blas Islands of Panama. Mola refers to the vibrantly colored and imaginatively designed front and back panels stitched by Kuna women on their blouses. Each one is placed against a bright background that makes the predominantly red and orange designs pop. The word for a particular mola is translated into 9 or 10 languages, but, oddly enough, not always into Kuna. The page is completed by a rhyming couplet that frequently descends into doggerel and sometimes has no connection to the Kuna. It's difficult to determine what purpose "Tibet's beast of burden is the Yak,/Who can carry heavy loads on his back" serves. There is little available on the Kuna Indians and this important facet of their culture for this age group, and, except for the unfortunate poetry, it's a worthwhile addition.-Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJα(c) Copyright 2011.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful and unusual alphabet book
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2012
M is for Mola Art is an alphabet book of Folk Art from Panama. Each page features a vibrant color photograph a gorgeous reverse applique mola. The photographs are accompanied by quaint couplets describing their subjects. Of interest to both children and adults are the translations of the animals depicted in the molas. This is more than just an alphabet book; it is a language primer as well! What a creative and unique way to teach children the alphabet while exposing them to the traditional art of Panama! A wonderful new book from the ever innovative Susan Striker!
