**one idea for this book is to discuss the humor in the story-- the tall tale answers to the questions
write one question on each section of the inside of the book and let your student write or dictate the answer
    1. How did Abuelito get his white hair?
    2. How did Abuelito get his big belly?
    3. How did Abuelito get his wrinkled skin?
