Just a Minute: A Trickster Tale and Counting Book

AUTHOR and ILLUSTRATOR: Yuyi Morales


Just_a_Minute_A_Trickster_Talen_and_Counting_Book_2003In this original trickster tale, the skeleton Señor Calavera arrives unexpectedly at Grandma Beetle's door, requesting that she leave with him right away. "Just a minute," Grandma Beetle tells him. She still has one house to sweep, two pots of tea to boil, three pounds of corn to make into tortillas – and that's just the start! Using both Spanish and English words to tally the preparations, Grandma Beetle cleverly outwits the skeleton and celebrates her birthday with a table full of grandchildren, and one surprise guest.




Solo un Minuto: Un cuento embaucador


En este original cuento tramposo, el Señor Calavera llega sorpresivamente a la puerta de la abuela Beetle pidiendo que vaya con él enseguida. "Solo un minuto", le dice la abuela Beetle. Ella todavía tiene una casa que barrer, dos ollas de té para hervir, tres libras de maíz para hacer tortillas - y eso es sólo el comienzo! Usando palabras en español y en Inglés para el recuento de los preparativos, la abuela Beetle inteligentemente se burla del esqueleto y celebra su cumpleaños con una mesa llena de nietos, y un invitado sorpresa.
