Just a Minute: A Trickster Tale and Counting Book

Written and Illustrated by: Yuyi Morales

In this original trickster tale, the skeleton Señor Calavera arrives unexpec5tedly at Grandma Beetle's door, requesting that she leave with him right away. "Just a minute," Grandma Beetle tells him. She still has one house to sweep, two pots of tea to boil, three pounds of corn to make into tortillas – and that's just the start! Using both Spanish and English words to tally the preparations, Grandma Beetle cleverly outwits the skeleton and celebrates her birthday with a table full of grandchildren, and one surprise guest.
