The perfect resource for parents who despair of getting their children to sit still and listen. The stories, colorfully illustrated in a sharp, bright style reminiscent of cut-paper art, bring with them an interactive approach to storytelling, a clever use of word patterns and rhythms and a boisterous wealth of songs, chants and repeated refrains.-Books for Children, Clemson University "Tell Me a Cuento is just plain charming. Billed as a bilingual early reader, it also makes a great read-aloud-and-look-at-the pictures book for parents and children."-New Mexico MagazineContains four of Joe's most popular stories:Do you know what a Terrible Tragadabas is? Or why the bossy rooster Jose can't go to the wedding of his Uncle Perico? Or who gets to marry the butterfly, La Mariposa-the pig, the dog, the cat or the mouse?
