With a style that captures the rhythmic pulse of the Cuban way of life, the vibrant storytelling in this collection of tales by Joe Hayes will delight Spanish-speaking and English-speaking children alike.

El Bolero Se Baila Pegadito No es un libro de ensayos sobre el bolero, mucho menos sobre música, como puede sugerir el título. De cuentos, se trata. Muy breves, por cierto.
