He can&#8217;t figure out what to give Grandma Beetle for her birthday. Misunderstanding the advice of Zelmiro the Ghost, Señor Calvera decides not to get her one gift, but instead one gift for every letter of the alphabet, just in case. Una Acordéon: An accordion for her to dance to. Bigotes: A mustache because she has none. Cosquillas: Tickles to make her laugh&#8230;only to find out at the end of the alphabet that the best gift of all is seeing her friends. Morales&#8217;s art glows in this heart-warming original tale with folklore themes, a companion book to her Pura Belpré-winning JUST A MINUTE.</P><P> </P></DIV></DIV> 2906653 14 10 2008 Just In Case: A Trickster Tale and Spanish Alphabet Book total:56|5:15|4:18|3:15|2:7|1:1| 56 207 71 23 4 0 false false Tue Oct 13 14:40:49 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 15:06:42 -0700 2009 Grades 1-4
