ˇChupacabra!
ˇChupacabra! | Adam Rubin
1 post | 2 read
A whimsical, bilingual re-telling of the Mexican chupacabra folktale by the New York Times bestselling author of Dragons Love Tacos A long time ago in Mexico, a little girl named Rosa lived on a farm with her father, Hector. One night, a goat disappeared from the farm and turned up flat as a pancake. Only one creature could do that--chupacabra, the goatsucker! Legend has it that chupacabra is a fearsome beast, but you can't believe everything you hear... Told in equal parts English and Spanish, and cinematically illustrated by acclaimed Hollywood creature creator Crash McCreery, this quirky take on a traditional Mexican legend is a must-have for bilingual bookshelves and parents introducing children to a second language.

This is definitely one of the most exciting children‘s book that I have come across thus far. Award winning author Adam Rubin adds a twist to a classic tale for children to enjoy! He noted, “It‘s easy to dismiss the unfamiliar, but compassion takes a little more effort” & that is exactly what he demonstrates in this TL PB. Each sentence is half english/spanish which gives a cool dynamic for ESOL & English speaking learners. #LAE3414sp19

hkeiger I would like use this book in my class as a DR. The characters in the book all have so much spunk and I think students would have fun acting it out! It is a TL so some students might be familiar with it, making them more comfortable! Here is a RA of the book that students (and you) may enjoy. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=78MFDqKCbAc (UDL 1.1, ESOL 17) 6y
