Lobo and the Rabbit Stew
When his mother has to leave baby bunny alone while she goes to pick lettuce she tells him to not open the door for anyone. They had heard the wolf howling the night before and baby rabbit knows to be very careful. But the wolf wants rabbit for his stew and he is determined to get it. A pretty predictable story as this sort is so common among so many ethnic groups it does have one particular thing that makes it different. Throughout the story Latin American Spanish words are introduced in a context where the reader can figure out the meaning without having to look it up. That makes this an excellent text for introducing the reader to common words in another language. "Lobo and the Rabbit Stew" is recommended and especially so for parents wanting to introduce their child to words from a second language.
