Deedy, C. A., & Austin, M. (2007). Martina,
the beautiful cockroach: A Cuban folktale. Atlanta, GA: Peachtree. Martina was ready for marriage, but
her grandmother knew that marriage was not something to joke with. She gave her
an old trick that could help her find the perfect husband. The trick worked,
for it shooed away the terrible candidates. She finally met a gentle mouse that
made her heart melt. Teachers can easily use it to teach onomatopoeia and use
examples from the book such as Gronc! Gronc! and ti-ki-tin, ti-ki-tan. This
book's style filled with folklore beautifully celebrates Cuban and Hispanic
culture.
