This tale, very famous in many parts of Latin America and beyond, is a great way to bring traditional literature and folklore into the study of horror literature. There are many tellings of this legend that differ, but I especially appreciate that this version presents the legend side-by-side in English and Spanish. The art is fantastic and does a wonderful job of illustrating the story and especially the mood. This is a story that is traditionally told to young people to encourage them to get home before dark, and thus a scary story that has been passed down for many generations. Because of this, many of my students enjoy the familiarity of the story when we use it to practice analyzing stories for elements of horror.

This is a collection of Cuban folktales told in both English and Spanish. This would be a good book for children because it can help expose them to other cultures. I liked how the book had one story written in English followed by another story written in Spanish. This book could also help children learning English or Spanish since they have the story in their native language and then the other language to compare it to.
