Spanish Version of The Great Big Enormous Turnip

I’ve been invited up to the New Philadelphia Library by a great bunch of librarians who are have El Dia De Los Ninos or a Children’s Day. They say that the population has an increasing Hispanic element, and they wish to celebrate it. In the past few years, they have employed a native speaker, but, due to family concerns, she is unable to come this year. I am the replacement. I’m not a fluent speaker at all, but I’m looking forward to filling those Spanish shoes. One idea for this audience, which I am told contains mostly Anglo children and families, will be to do a Spanish version of the Turnip Story. El Nado is the term for turnip in Spanish. I’ve told this story many times in English with the children taking the parts of the animals who help. This time I’ll have all the characters come up to act out their parts using Spanish names, and we’ll get to repeat their titles: el gato, (the cat) el perro, (the dog) la nieta (the granddaughter), el nieto (the grandson) and finally adding el raton (the mouse) as that small animal helps us get el grande nado (the big turnip) out of the ground. I’ll do a little more research with my Peace Corps daughter, Jess, and we should all have a grand time that day. I’ve also been asked to be in charge of the Pinata breaking, so I’ve been reviewing color words, and the words for higher, lower, left and right. Here’s a great poem I found:
“ No quiero nickel ni quiero plato
Lo que yo quiero is romper la piñata”

(I don’t want nickel or silver.
I only want to break the piñata.)
