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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA note from author Adam Rubin: \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"I decided to tell this story in an unusual way to explore the beauty of harmony. It's easy to dismiss the unfamiliar, but compassion takes a little more effort. With so many people trumpeting divisiveness right now, it's more important than ever to teach kids that there is more than one way to understand the world.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Rubin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0399539298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780399539299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dial Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 10.20w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2018 pg. 111","brand":"Adam Rubin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44052276412671,"sku":"9780399539299","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b5f3b31-6c33-4f89-be04-8df844c83bd5.jpg?v=1685017910","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/el-chupacabras-adam-rubin-9780399539299","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
