Ernesto Joked by Hazel Pacheco
Unlock your imagination, venture to a land of enchantment, and hobnob with the gregarious quails of the Southwest!
In this nail-biting episode, Ernesto’s talent for making others laugh is put to the ultimate test. When a cantankerous coyote invades the bosque and threatens the quails, it’s no time for jokes—or is it? Coyote demands a funny story . . . or else. With his whole covey counting on him, will Ernesto think of a story funny enough to make Coyote howl with laughter?
If you enjoyed the Southwest flavor of The Three Little Javelinas, by Susan Lowell, or the optimism of Knight Owl by Christopher Denise, then you are sure to love Ernesto Joked. This read-aloud, read-to-your-child book will capture the hearts of children ages 4+ and might even capture the notice of some adult kids as well.
Beautifully illustrated, Ernesto Joked presents a humorous vocabulary-building tale that celebrates friendship and bravery while delivering a subtle faith inspired message that encourages courage in spite of fear.
Bonus glossary and activity page included!
