Cuckoo/ Cucu by Lois Ehlert translated into Spanish by Gloria de Aragon Andujar

Beautiful cuckoo was a bit vain and a very lazy.  Her egocentric behavior caused the other birds to despise her.  Each year the birds worked together to gather seeds to grow another season.  Cuckoo, of course, never helped.  The birds' view of Cuckoo soon changed when they fall asleep and a fire broke out.  Cuckoo saved the seed from the fire and as a result, turned black, no longer beautiful.
Beautiful artwork based on Mexican crafts and folk art.
