"Poor Alex gets stuck carrying the shopping bags. His wife Maria carries the money. When he tries to find Maria so he can get some money to buy meat, he causes conflict with other husbands. This book features Moira Hanrahan's clever line-drawings which always enhance the humour and drama of Page Turners books. The story shows unintended consequences and funny scenes of male jealousy. The book includes True/False questions, discussion exercises, and a list of words used in the text. Too Many Marias would be great for any beginning adult learners, particularly married ones!." – November 2009 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
