So, you’ve been in trouble. Your -parents tell you they’re calling the bogeyman. You laugh. There’s no such thing!
Then—you hear a sharp knock. Standing at the door is the oldest man you have ever seen. It’s el Cucuy (coo-COO-ee)! With that big red ear, he hears everything!
In this cautionary tale, storyteller Joe Hayes tells about two girls who didn’t believe in el Cucuy until he snatched them up. Of course, the story has a happy ending.
Todos en el suroeste de los Estados Unidos y la gran parte de México han escuchado del Cucuy.
Con su espalda jorobada y su gran oreja roja, el Cucuy fue una vez una parte estándar de la crianza de los niños. Muchos mexicanos y mexicoamericanos te dirán: "Crecí con el Cucuy". "Y hay muchas historias de niños perezosos y desobedientes, que sus pies fueron puestos en el camino recto y estrecho por un encuentro con este ogro.
Aunque los padres de hoy ya no piensan que es apropiado confiar en las amenazas de llamar a el Cucuy, para que venga y se lleve a sus hijos, los jóvenes aún se deleitan en historias de niños y niñas malos, que son mucho peores que ellos, recibiendo el buen susto que se merecen de El Cucuy. Por supuesto los mejores cuentos, como este, siempre tienen un final feliz.

About the Author
HONORIO ROBLEDO grew up in small villages in the southwestern states of Mexico. In the evenings, his family would gather around the tlecuil―a Mexican-style wood burning stove. Thanks to the stories told there by his elders, the night came alive with mystery, magic and supernatural wonders. People woke up early to work the land. In the afternoon, they would take out their musical instruments and form improvisational groups in beauty salons, in workshops, on street corners and cafes―just about everywhere. Music filled the air and was a very important part of the life of the village. This is the world that Honorio recreates in his art. Honorio’s work is influenced by Surrealists such as Chirico and Dali. He especially loves the native painters of Veracruz who used color to show all the riches of that region, and by the school of Oaxaquen painters such as Toledo and Taymayo whose work is about color and magic. Honorio lives in Los Angeles, California with his wife Luanna and his two children. In addition to his work as a fine artist, Honorio has also worked for many years as a comic strip artist for La Opinion, the country’s largest Spanish language newspaper.
