Poetry, oral folklore, and short stories have been a source of transfer of traditions and culture through many generations. Riddles and oral folklore continue to be a wealth of resources for parents to share with their children their history and traditions they inherited from previous generations. In Treasures in Prairie, author Sylvia Ulmer presents a compilation of fun stories and folklore. Presented in a poem format in both Spanish and English, the selections include memories of the stories told to Ulmer by her father, as well as tales and rhymes she shared with her children when they were young. From a wise turtle to the astute parrot and a hungry mouse, the selections help children learn about a variety of creatures and their habitat and traits. This anthology is geared for elementary children, but it also provides opportunities for all students to enrich their vocabulary in Spanish and English.

"Nathan and Rebecca live on a farm with their mom and dad. Not very far away on another farm lives their favorite person in all of the world, their Gram! They phone Gram almost every day to see if they can go over to help her to pick the eggs and she always says, "Sure come on over!" One day they call her and she tells them that she has new animals at her farm. They are very excited to go and see what Gram's new animal is. They go together to the barnyard to see Gram's new animals. Nathan and Rebecca have never seen one of these before and Gram tells them that they are geese. Come join Rebecca and Nathan as they share with you their adventures with the goose, the gander, and the goslings!"--P[4] of cover.
