I hadn't heard this exact version before so that was cool to read a different one. This is a classic tale and working with a majority of Hispanic students makes this a MUST for the classroom; even having multiple version to discuss how a tale changes over time. Another title in the On My Own Folklore series, which presents folktales in simplified form for beginning readers, The Tale of La Llorona offers a version of the well-known Mexican folktale, as heard by the authors in Guanajuato. The story of La Llorona (the Weeping Woman) has been told in many different ways, and this terrifying ghost - who perpetually mourns the loss of her children - has been depicted as everything from a prostitute to a naive young girl. In this version, Maria is an inn-keeper's daughter whose obsession with wealth leads her to disregard the one true blessing of her life... Including a brief authors' note, a glossary, and a list of further reading, this title should prove both entertaining and educational, and will appeal to young readers with a taste for ghost stories. A very good urban legend that is very popular among the Mexican populations both here in the States and in Mexico. However, many people have heard of "La Llorona" but they do not know the legend behind it. This book is good to introduce the legend to the any students who are curious. It is also a good introductory legend to begin for a Mexican who is rich in culture and legends. I have read this since it was a good start to know my culture and the journey has been endless. This could be the same for students of Mexican origins who wish to know more about their culture. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
