Cuentos Que Contaban Nuestras Abuelas

By F. Isabel Campoy and Alma Flor Ada

A beautiful bird lets a turkey borrow his feathers, but never gets them back; a boy goes out to find firewood for his mother, then forgets to gather it; a tiny beetle declares war on a great big cow - and wins!  The dozen folktales in this book originated in the Arab, Hebrew, African, Spanish, and indigenous American traditions.  Now they are part of Hispanic culture's rich heritage.
