This collection presents twelve Latino folktales, some well known and some more obscure, each of which concludes with thoughtful source notes. The four illustrators' styles, although different, are unified by some common design elements and complement the stories they accompany. Sections titled "To Begin a Story" and "To End a Story" give Spanish- and English-language equivalents for traditional story starters and endings.
