When Catalina, a young girl who lives in Mexico, is given two pesos as a reward, she spends a day at the market deciding what to buy with her shiny silver coins. What does she buy?
I owned this book in the 1970s when I was at primary school, and all these years later I remember it really fondly. My older sister used to read it to me, and sang a little tune when Catalina sings her song. I remember it being a good story and loved the illustrations.
