The Boy Who Cried Wolf

Aesop’s fable

15 Spanish words woven into Aesop’s fable, with full scenes to colour. Ages 6–10.

Kids 6–10

A shepherd boy gets bored and shouts “wolf” just for fun. Twice the villagers come running. The third time, the wolf (lobo) is real.

Each page tells the story in English and adds one or two new Spanish words, shown in brackets the first time and on their own after that, with a simple pronunciation guide in the corner. There’s a full scene to colour on every page, with more to fill in than the Lion and the Mouse kids’ book.

15 everyday words, a picture word list at the back, and a moral to talk about together. For ages 6–10, at home or in the classroom.
