Personal Comment:
I really like this book, as I have heard the this child multiple times ever since I was a child. This story is great to show the children that only because something appears to be scary it won't be all the time. El Chupacabras was the missing piece to the problem they had with the goats; unlike other versions where he harms others he helps in this story.
