La Noche Before Three Kings Day Worksheets

by Sheila Colón-Bagley

ATOS 3.1

It is la noche before Three Kings Day, and all through the casa a big Puerto Rican familia is stirring. The kids wrap their shoeboxes with glee, everyone feasts on pasteles, arroz con gandules and flan, and with Tío's maracas, Papi's guitarra and all the primos and primas they have a parranda. At bedtime two sisters beg to stay awake, far too excited to sleep, until their tired ojitos can stay open no more and they place their wrapped boxes beside the front door. A joyful rhyming twist on "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," full of family, music and Spanish words.
