This book reunites three brief stage plays. With his famous humor, Ibargüengoitia presents children who turn into frogs, a millionaire bent on theft, an elephant who plays piano, the unusual character of the Pinzones brothers or the funny story of the boy Triclino and the Beautiful Dorotea.

Teachers can use this book to introduce children to the genre of theater and to one of the key authors in XX century Mexican literature.
