All stories are presented in English and Spanish, making this a valuable resource for ESL and Spanish language classes. In addition, you'll find all the popular World Folklore series extras - a brief history of the island, traditional recipes, color photographs and drawings, even directions for Cuban children's games. A versatile book with many educational applications, this collection is a must for the library's folklore and children's collections, as well as for storytellers, teachers, and anyone else interested in learning about the traditions of Cuba."--BOOK JACKET.
