Book Synopsis Juan Bobo by : Aurora Lucero-White Lea
Download or read book Juan Bobo written by Aurora Lucero-White Lea and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juan Bobo was a muchacho, a small boy, who lived in Santa Fe when New Mexico was still a Spanish province. Nobody knew just what neighborhood he came from, but one day he appeared at the Governor's palace and caught the Governor's imagination with his quick tongue and ready talent for pranks. It was Juan Bobo who proved to the Governor that women are not always good, noble, and sweet. It was Juan Bobo who told the Governor why it is that white hairs appear on the head before they appear in the beard. It was Juan Bobo who escaped the wrath of the Gobernadora, the Governor's wife, with his wit and speed of thought and body. And perhaps he was such a fool as the Spanish name "Bobo" would imply, for when the women of New Mexico asked for a place in the Governor's councils, it was Juan Bobo who told the Governor what to do, and how to reply to them. The tales in this book tell the tales of Juan Bobo and the Governor of New Mexico, capturing the flavor of New Mexican folk tales from which these episodes were adapted. Each of Juan Bobo's exploits stands out with a clarity and naturalness like that of the sun on an adobe wall. The short Spanish vocabulary interwoven in the narrative adds to the spice with which Spanish customs are portrayed. The flashing white teeth and mischief-making soul of Juan Bobo will delight every young reader, just as they charmed the Governor of New Mexico. And few older readers will be able to resist warming to the antics of this engaging muchacho of Santa Fe.

Download or read book Latino History Day by Day written by Caryn E. Neumann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-05-09 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title takes a calendrical approach to illuminating the history of Latinos and life in the United States and adds more value than a simple "this day in history" through primary source excerpts and resources for further research. Latino/a history has been relatively slow in gaining recognition despite the population's rich and varied history. Engaging and informative, Latino History Day by Day: A Reference Guide to Events will help address that oversight. Much more than just a "this-day-in-history" list, the guide describes important events in Latino/a history, augmenting many entries with a brief excerpt from a primary document. All entries include two annotated books and websites as key resources for follow up. The day-to-day reference is organized by the 365 days of the year with each day drawing from events that span several hundred years of Latino/a history, from Mexican Americans to Puerto Ricans to Cuban Americans. With this guide in hand, teachers will be able to more easily incorporate Latino/a history into their classes. Students will find the book an easy-to-use guide to the Latino/a past and an ideal starting place for research.
