The Boy, The King, and The
Chihuahua
Salvador SeBasco
As the story goes, the King dares his town's people that if one of them could jump all the way from the bottom of the castle to the top, he will give that person his prized Chihuahua named Lily!!! But, it has to be done before the sun goes down. Only a small boy does it, and he gets the Chihuahua in the end.
The first 71 pages are for ages 3 & up. AFTER THE STORY is an exercise for ages 7 & up, followed by a grown-up section where imagination is defined & it is shown how the Chihuahua in the story is used as a symbol which stands for what we each strive for in life. With a strong message cover-to-cover for all ages, this book has since been tied to why it was not so far fetched that the 9/11 Commission stated that 9/11 happened due to failure or lack of imagination.
ALSO AVAILABLE IN SPANISH under the Title El Niņo, El Rey, y La Chihuahua.
