Egg Drop
by Mini GreyNow for something completely different from Mini Grey!A mother hen tells her chicks about the egg that wanted to fly. "The egg was young. It didn't know much. We tried to tell it, but of course it didn't listen." The egg loves looking up at the birds (yes, it has eyes). It climbs 303 steps (yes, it has legs) to the top of a very tall tower--and jumps. It feels an enormous egg rush. "Whee!" it cries. "I am flying!" But it is not flying, it is falling. Hold your tears, dear reader--there is a sunny ending for this modern-day Humpty Dumpty. Impossible to categorize, Egg Drop is Mini Grey at her zaniest.

El Chupacabras
by Adam RubinFrom the bestselling author of Dragons Love Tacos comes a whimsical re-telling of the chupacabra folktale, written in a blend of English and SpanishA long time ago, a girl named Carla lived on a goat farm with her father, Hector. One night, a goat disappeared from the farm and turned up flat as a pancake. Only one creature could do that--El Chupacabras, the goatsucker! Legend has it that El Chupacabras is a fearsome beast, but you can't believe everything you hear...and sometimes the truth is even more interesting.Told in equal parts English and Spanish by bestselling author Adam Rubin, and cinematically illustrated by acclaimed Hollywood creature creator Crash McCreery, this lighthearted take on a modern legend is not told in the traditional bilingual style. Each sentence is half-Spanish/half-English followed by a repetition of the same line translated the other way around. This mirroring technique allows the languages to intermingle equally. A fun and unique way to introduce either Spanish or English to new readers. A note from author Adam Rubin:"I decided to tell this story in an unusual way to explore the beauty of harmony. It's easy to dismiss the unfamiliar, but compassion takes a little more effort. With so many people trumpeting divisiveness right now, it's more important than ever to teach kids that there is more than one way to understand the world."

"Y hay muchas historias de niños perezosos y desobedientes, que sus pies fueron puestos en el camino recto y estrecho por un encuentro con este ogro. <P><P> Aunque los padres de hoy ya no piensan que es apropiado confiar en las amenazas de llamar a el Cucuy, para que venga y se lleve a sus hijos, los jóvenes aún se deleitan en historias de niños y niñas malos, que son mucho peores que ellos, recibiendo el buen susto que se merecen de El Cucuy. Por supuesto los mejores cuentos, como este, siempre tienen un final feliz. <P><P> Joe Hayes has become one of America’s premier bilingual storytellers. Hayes lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
