Book Description
In Ybor City, Florida, lives a little roach named Cucarachita. Being very diligent about her daily chores, she finds a shiny nickel while sweeping the floor. Cucarachita decides to spend her ¿fortune¿ on a big new spoon for stirring her black beans. As a special treat, she also buys some talcum powder. Later that day Cucarachita puts on her new talcum powder, and draws the attention of other animals that end up asking for her hand in marriage. After rejecting the previous suitors, Cucarachita finally agrees to marry Maclovio Martinez, a little mouse, who is the last to come strolling by. Maclovio and Cucarachita Martinez lived happily together until one Saturday afternoon. In the middle of cooking Cucarachita realized that she needed some groceries to complete her supper, so she asked Maclovio to stir the beans while she was gone. The event turns into a disaster and Maclovio learns a valuable lesson from his wife. What could be the significance of Cucarachita¿s specific instruction to Always Use the BIG Spoon?
