Book Reviews of Tales Our Abuelitas Told: A Hispanic Folktale Collection
Book Review: Long ago there were only stories
Summary: 5 Stars
Colorful illustrations light up these old multicultural stories, many from Spain which was influenced by sailors bringing songs and stories from other lands, as explained in the wonderful introduction to this book that tells how geography and history mix together to produce culture. Enjoy the bits of Spanish language thrown in to fun stories like "Martina and Raton Perez" and the war between a beetle and Dona Vaca Blanca y Negra (the black and white cow). Each story is followed by a short explanation of its origin. A fine choice for elementary school libraries.
Summary of Tales Our Abuelitas Told: A Hispanic Folktale Collection
These stories have journeyed far -- over mountains, deserts, and oceans -- carried by wind, passed on to us by our ancestors. Now they have found their way to you.
A sly fox, a bird of a thousand colors, a magical set of bagpipes, and an audacious young girl...A mixture of popular tales and literary lore, this anthology celebrates Hispanic culture and its many roots -- Indigenous, African, Arab, Hebrew, and Spanish.
F. Isabel Campoy and Alma Flor Ada have retold twelve beloved stories that embody the lively spirit and the rich heritage of Latino people.
The work of four leasing Latino artists and illustrators highlights this unforgettable collection.
