Customer Reviews

A classic Puerto Rican tale for children!

I picked this up several years ago since it was one of the titles my spouse knew and loved from childhood. It's brightly colored and written in the somewhat quaint style of a Puerto Rican folk tale albeit with a moral lesson much like a fable. Makes a great gift for any age. Delightful bit of culture reminescent of the old ways on the island itself.
