The Latin American Story Finder
Anything is possible in the world of Latin American folklore, where Aunt Misery can trap Death in a pear tree; Amazonian dolphins lure young girls to their underwater city; and the Feathered Snake brings the first musicians to Earth. One in a series of folklore reference guides ("...an invaluable resource..."--School Library Journal), this book features summaries and sources of 470 tales told in Mexico, Central America and South America, a region underrepresented in collections of world folklore. The volume sends users to the best stories retold in English from the Inca, Maya, and Aztec civilizations, Spanish and Portuguese missionaries and colonists, African slave cultures, indentured servants from India, and more than 75 indigenous tribes from 21 countries. The tales are grouped into themed sections with a detailed subject index.

Hey, Miss! You Got a Book for Me?
This annotated bibliography, now in its second edition, describes a model resource collection of over 350 book and audiovisual titles for a multicultural setting. While its emphasis is on Spanish language and cultural groups, a number of dual-language items have been included for speakers of Chinese, French, Greek, and Vietnamese.
