La viejecita quien no scarecrow.
tenia miedo de nada
Why we like it: The story has a definitive
rhythm, and kids will be chanting along
with you during the “chorus” of the

story. This is great for working on /s/
and /r/ clusters in Spanish, plurals in both
Spanish and English, along with clothing
and Halloween vocabulary.

The Cazuela the Farm Plot: The story of how a farm maiden and
Maiden Stirred the farm animals work together to make
the rice pudding for the fiesta.

Why we like it: Similarly structured to
“The House that Jack Built,” this story is
good for sequencing, teaching animal
names/categories, and has beautiful
illustrations for describing. The story is

told in English with Spanish words
incorporated, so may be best for children
who have at least some English, or could
also be translated.
Stuck Plot: When a little boy tries to rescue his
kite from a tree, he throws item upon item
Atrapados trying to get it down, only resulting in
everything getting stuck!

Why we like it: Whimsical and amusing,
kids will laugh out loud. Great for
teaching predictions, sequencing, /r/
clusters in English, and teaching

expectations.
The Rooster Who Went Plot: A cumulative Cuban folktale about a
to His Uncle’s Wedding rooster who is trying to get clean on the
way to his uncle’s wedding and encounters

Why we like it: This story is appropriate
for children aged 5-7 and can easily be
used to teach animals, compare and
contrast, teach ‘if’...’then’ and

consequences of actions in a light and fun
way.
