Night Stories: Folktales from Latin America: A TOON Graphic by Liniers

adventurous informative inspiring mysterious fast-paced

A charming little collection of three traditional folk stories from Latin America, illustrated in a bright, whimsical cartoon style. The book also includes a few pages of preface about the Mesoamerican cultures, and a few pages of afterword that discuss the origins of each story. Both the preface and afterword have plenty of interesting illustrations so that even younger readers will find something of interest among those pages. But of course, the main appeal is the three folktales themselves. They're presented in a light-hearted way, through the framework of a brother and sister lying awake in their bunk beds at night, telling one another stories. My only tiny complaint with this book was that it felt short, but I'll also be the first to say that I am not the target audience (nor am I familiar with how long this sort of book typically is, when the audience is children, so the length may be exactly right for them). That is also a compliment to the creator, Liniers, that I was sad it was over so quickly. This book has encouraged me to look up more titles by Liniers.
