ABOUT EL CHUPACABRAS From 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. Adam Rubin (y el ilustrador, Daniel Salmieri) son los creadores de los best-seller del New York Times Robo-Sauce, Secret Pizza Party y Dragons Love Tacos. A nosotros nos interesa Adam porque vive en Barcelona y es amigo nuestro. Es una persona muy interesante: no sólo ha escrito libros infantiles sino que también inventa rompecabezas y es mago. Puedes leer más sobre él en su página web (en inglés).
