Martina is a beautiful cockroach who is now 21 days old and ready to find her husband. But Abuela, her Cuban grandmother, didn't want her to pick the wrong suitor so she asked her to put each guy that asked to "The Coffee Test." Martina didn't understand at first, but once suitors started asking for her "leg" in marriage she was grateful of her Abuela's tactic. Little did Martina know that the perfect little suitor to be her husband had been there all along and he too had a Cuban grandmother.
After reading this book to the class, I would split the students up into groups of 6 (one member for each character). The groups will then decide who will be which character and practice acting out the story. After about 15 minutes, each group will act out this Cuban Folktale as I narrate.
