About this book
A couple gives their firstborn a famously long name Pacho-Nacho-Nico-Tico-Melo-Felo-Kiko-Rico and insists everyone use the whole thing. When their younger son, Juan, tries to call for help, the cumbersome name makes it hard for anyone to understand him, creating a humorous yet tense situation. Based on a Spanish folktale, the story illustrates how the family learns a quick lesson about the importance of clear communication and the true meaning of names. The book also includes a glossary of Spanish words and notes on the original tale.
