Description A young girl sets out on errands for the day, and while she's gone, the farm maiden prepares a pinata from scratch with help from a boy, horse, goose, cat, sheep, and farmer. After they all fall asleep in the afternoon sun, they must scramble to finish preparations in time--just as the girl arrives back to her surprise party. This is the story of how the farm maiden and all the farm animals and friends work together to make the piñata for a surprise birthday party. With the familiarity of "The House That Jack Built" this story builds just like their piñata, and the repetitions from the previous pages. Back matter even includes directions for making a pinata at home. Cleverly incorporating rhymes and repetition, La piñata que la campensina colgo is a celebratory good time that will entertain and engage young readers!
