Luis and his grandfather Slim arrived into the town Skinflint, weary and hungry while on horseback. These cowboys are not welcomed in the town until they promise the town a taste of their delicious fandango stew. In a large pot they place a fandango bean (a pinto bean) with some boiling water. With some encouragement, the town members contribute a plethora of food to make an amazing stew.
Lots of cowboy/western lingo and some Spanish words sprinkled throughout the story.
Some children may not have the schema for the cowboy terminology or Spanish.
Strategies: T-T connections (to the original Stone Soup story), compare/contrast, figurative language-similes
*Highly recommend.
Borrowed from the library.
