Juan Bobo Goes to Work: A Puerto Rican Folk Tale

Juan Bono stories are legendary in PR culture. Such a sweet boy trying so hard but making messes along the way. Great kids story w/ nice full color pictures.

I actually have not read the book yet, but I can report on my daughter's class reaction. After a teacher read the book to the kids, the kids were so happy with it that they begged her to lend it to them so they could take it home. As might be imagined, the book disappeared. I believe that's the fate of crowd-pleasing kids books. I wanted to support the teacher in lending her books, so i bought this for her as a replacement copy. I look forward to reading this myself.

I bought this for my friend’s son. He loves the book and often ask he dad to keep reading it to him.

My school was having an international celebration and our class was chosen to represent Puerto Rico. Of all the Puerto Rican stories and tales that we learned about this story stood out the most. The entire class loved Juan Bobo and his antics. They laughed, yelled, and applauded through the story. Needless to say, we read over and over. That was 3 years ago and my former students still remember this story. I read it every year and each class loves it. I love it too! It's a funny story with meaning and a great ending! Viva Juan Bobo!

Enjoy

The kids love Juan Bobo! A great read!

This book is a beautifully written and illustrated book with many full-page and very colorful illustrations. The book size is approximately 9-1/2 inches by 11 inches and so is a good size for young ones to be able to handle easily. Yet, it is not heavy to handle; it has approximately 30 pages and won the Silver Pura Belpre Honor Book award. I highly recommend this book.I received this book in record time from the vendor and highly recommend them as well.

The book is excellent! Everyday Juan Bobo does his best to try and help his mother but somehow is never able to do things correctly. The book provides an immensity of moments to laugh with Juan Bobo's occurrences. I really enjoyed the book's landscape and cultural snippets of Puerto Rico. I bought the book because I am building my collection on Puerto Rico's Childrens' Literature and had to buy another copy for my niece and nephew.
