This review is from: Candy la cucaracha generosa * Candy the generous cockroach (Spanish and English Edition) (Paperback)

It adapts a traditional latin american folk tale about a a roach who in the original Panamanian version the roach (female) goes out to find a husband and marries a rat who then dies by falling in a soup...tragic and what do we learn by that?...don't get married? or make sure your husband has life insurance?... anway, this version is adapted not only to modern times, by the way the characters are dressed, but a has a valid message which can always be a good reminder for us adults and a good learning skill for the younger generations....sharing and friendship, selflessness instead of selfishness...you get the picture...Enjoy!
