The Cucuy is a tall, furry, three-eyed, four-armed monster with a mouth full of huge teeth, Papo tells his granddaughter. And, he warns, if she doesnt behave, the Cucuy will take her away!
She used to be afraid of the Cucuy, until one day she meets him and learns that he is not the frightful beast her grandfather described. Instead, hes cute and likes to play. His fur is blue, and his teeth are small. He may not be just like her, but he does have two arms and two eyes. And the Cucuy also likes to play catch, blow bubbles, and eat candy. Best of all, though, the young girl learns that he doesnt kidnap naughty children!
First-time childrens book author Claudia Galindo and illustrator Jonathan Coombs vividly bring to life a character known to generations of Latino children. Although this time, the Cucuy isn't a scary monster but instead is a fun playmate. Bilingual edition
