Listen to your parents or el Cucuy--the Bogeyman--might get you!
Hazle caso a tus papás, ¡o puede ser que el Cucuy venga por ti!
So, you've been in trouble. Your parents tell you they're calling the bogeyman. You laugh. There's no such thing!
Then--you hear a sharp knock. Standing at the door is the oldest man you have ever seen. It's el Cucuy (coo-COO-ee)! With that big red ear, he hears everything!
In this cautionary tale, storyteller Joe Hayes tells readers about two girls who didn't believe in el Cucuy until he snatched them up. But of course, the story has a happy ending.
Con que haz estado haciendo travesuras. Tus papás te dicen que le van a hablar al Cucuy. Te riés. ¡No existe!
Entonces: escuchas un fuerte golpe en la puerta. Y ahí esta el hombre más viejo que jamas haz visto. ¡Es el Cucuy! Con esa gran oreja roja, ¡escucha todo!
En esta historia admonitoria, el cuentista Joe Hayes habla de dos niñas que no creyeron en el Cucuy hasta que se las robo. Pero claro, el cuento tiene un final feliz.

"It's no wonder that Hayes has a reputation in the Southwest and beyond as a premier storyteller. This is a tale that is meant to be read aloud with a group (and maybe even in the dark). . . The authentically regional Spanish text reads very smoothly. Recommended for public libraries and bookstores." -- Críticas
"Known for his bilingual retelling of the ghost story La Llorona, the Weeping Woman (1987), Hayes now delights with his bilingual version of a tale featuring southwestern bogeyman el Cucuy. . . Not the book for truly timid tots, but this masterfully told story belongs in the hands of those scoffing, hard-case customers who challenge you to find them a really scary story." -- Booklist
"This bilingual retelling is a welcome addition for Spanish speakers who may recognize the bogeyman as el Cucuy." -- School Library Journal
"[This] retelling has just the right touch." -- Children's Literature
"Kids will appreciate this chilling cautionary tale, best enjoyed during the daylight hours." -- Publishers Weekly
"After a good scare, children will delight in the happy ending!" -- Book Talk
