Rata-pata-scata-fata : A Caribbean story

by Phillis Gershator

Summary: Preferring to dream away the days on his Caribbean island, little Junjun tries saying magic words to get the chores done

This book has beautiful, unique illustrations. When read to a class, it is fun to say the repetitive lines, especially “Rata-pata-scata-fata!” This book shows that sometimes wish come true, though it might not be magic!
