MARIO
Elizabeth Wagler

Both Books! Narrated by Fern Ebersole.

Mario, a Belizean Boy - Mario eats tortillas and delicious peccary soup. He bathes in the river where his father catches fish and his mother washes clothes. Mario's parents read the Bible and pray and teach him right and wrong. At night, Mario knows that far above the thatched roof of the house, far above the twinkling stars, God in heaven sees him in his little wooden bed. This delightful story introduces life in Belize with four-year-old Mario and his family.

Mario and His Friends - Mario is back! This time he joins his Belizean friends to peddle pig meat, chase armadillos, and learn how to use a machete like a man. Action and excitement - that's what boys like. But will Mario and company learn the virtues of patience, compassion, and kindness?
