The Chupacabra Ate the Candelabra

32 pp. | Penguin/Paulsen | March, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-17443-8 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ana Aranda. Three nervous goats decide to prevent the hungry chupacabra from eating them by offering it silly things to swallow instead. Aranda's vibrant watercolor and gouache illustrations turn a potentially scary story into a colorful romp, though the enjoyably absurd scenario is limited by the attempt to have all the potential foods sound similar to chupacabra (candelabra, cucaracha, etc.).
