Eight Traditional Latin American Folktales: Read-Aloud Bedtime Stories for Ages 6–10
About this book
Eight treasured folktales. Two languages. A little wonder on every page.
For generations, these folktales were told out loud, around kitchen tables and on warm evenings, all across the Spanish-speaking world. This collection gathers eight of those beloved folktales, from Mexico and Puerto Rico to Cuba and Spain, and retells them with warmth for your little ones, in English and Spanish, side by side.
Meet a tiny lizard brave enough to find the missing sun, a clever rabbit who outwits a hungry coyote, a little opossum who carried fire to a cold world, and a vain little mouse who learns to look with her heart. Every tale is gentle, funny, and full of heart, made to be read aloud and cuddled up with.
Because each story appears in both languages together, children can read it one way, then the other, a joyful, natural way to grow a second language, or keep one alive at home. And at the end of every story, a handful of Spanish words to learn and treasure.
Whether you're raising a little bilingual reader, sharing the stories of your own childhood, or simply looking for a bedtime tale with a bit more magic, these old stories were made to be read together, again and again.
Timeless tales to share tonight, and grow up with.
