Carlota Shares Her Secret – Carlota Cuenta Su Secreto (English-Spanish)
Pass it on! A precocious young girl learns how quickly a story can spread—and change—when her playful secret is told and then retold throughout her hometown. All she has to do is stand back and fall into fits of giggles as the story changes once again. No one’s guessed her secret right just yet!
Trato Feito- Trato Hecho (Spanish- Portuguese)
The old mouse tames his survival by making several deals with a precious rat. In the first deal, they exchange food for jewels, and in the second, they change the reality of everyone in the story.
