Juan Bobo: Four Folktales from Puerto Rico

3- 3.5

The entire time I kept thinking this would read so much better in Spanish. I was right. HA!

Juan Bobo is known in Puerto Rico to do ridiculous things and if you do a ridiculous thing, you too will be called a bobo or boba. I don't know if people unfamiliar with the culture will get these stories or understand that they are meant to be outlandish and ridiculous is nature. In general, Puerto Rican people like to laugh and make jokes of everything. With that said, these tales are better received narrated rather than read on paper.

If you wait until the end, you get the same four tales in Spanish.

Enjoy!!
