The Sad Night: The Story of an Aztec Victory and a Spanish Loss;

€œThis sensitive treatment of La Noche Triste, or The Sad Night, the last battle the Aztecs won against the Spaniards, is a highly effective melding of graceful, lucid text and stylized art. Designed to resemble Aztec codices, the illustrations appear in double-page strips above the bordered text. Beginning with the Aztec migration to Tenochtitl¡n (now Mexico City), the history of this people is traced through their final conquest by Cort©s€s forces. . . . This title has the distinction of combining myth with historical fact in a particularly successful manner. An engaging introduction to Mexican history.€€"School Library Journal
