La Piñata Que La Campesina Colgó - by Samantha R Vamos

Book Synopsis

A perfect picture book for 4-8-year-olds who love the nursery rhyme of "The House That Jack Built" and enjoy read-alouds that have rhyming and repetition.

Una niña sale a hacer las gestiones del día, y mientras está fuera, la campesina prepara una piñata desde cero con la ayuda de un niño, un caballo, un ganso, un gato, una oveja y un granjero. Luego de quedarse dormidos bajo el sol de la tarde, ellos tienen que apresurarse a terminar los preparativos a tiempo--justo cuando la niña regresa a su fiesta sorpresa.

Esta es la historia de cómo la campesina y todos los animales y amigos de la granja trabajan juntos para hacer la piñata para el cumpleaños sorpresa. Con la familiaridad de The House That
Jack Built, esta historia se construye como su piñata con las repeticiones de las páginas anteriores. Incluso, el texto final incluye instrucciones de cómo hacer una piñata en casa.

Incorporando ingeniosamente las rimas y la repetición, ¡La piñata que la campesina colgó es una celebración que divertirá y cautivará a los pequeños lectores!

A young girl sets out on errands for the day, and while she's gone, the farm maiden prepares a piñata from scratch with help from a boy, horse, goose, cat, sheep, and farmer. After they all fall asleep in the afternoon sun, they must scramble to finish preparations in time--just as the girl arrives back to her surprise party.

This is the story of how the farm maiden and all the farm animals and friends work together to make the piñata for a surprise birthday party. With the familiarity of "The House That Jack Built" this story builds just like their piñata, and the repetitions from the previous pages. Back matter even includes directions for making a piñata at home.

Cleverly incorporating rhymes and repetition, La piñata que la campensina colgó is a celebratory good time that will entertain and engage young readers!
