A long time ago in Mexico, a little girl named Rosa lived on a farm with her father, Hector. One night, a goat disappeared from the farm and turned up flat as a pancake. Only one creature could do that - Chupacabra, the goatsucker! Legend has it that Chupacabra is a fearsome beast, but you can’t believe everything you hear…Told in equal parts English and Spanish, and cinematically illustrated by acclaimed Hollywood creature creator Crash McCreery, this quirky take on a traditional Mexican legend is a must-have for bilingual bookshelves and parents introducing children to a second language.
