(3) K-3 Translated by Alma Mora. Latino myths, fables, and fairy tales are presented here in both English and Spanish and illustrated by Latino artists (with one exception). Recent stories, such as a selection from Rudolfo Anaya's seminal "Bless Me Ultima," are also included. With so few collections of stories from the Latino culture, this book will be a valuable way to introduce children to the richness of this heritage.
