About
A picture-book storytime with a craft at the end. Ester Sánchez, who runs the children's publisher Pintar-Pintar, reads Miedo, Milio'l del Nido's illustrated book about a lighthouse, a mysterious house and a world of shadows and creatures. Then kids build their own spooky puppet from mixed materials: a witch, a ghost, a friendly monster or whatever they dream up, ready to take along on Halloween night.
