This book is awesome!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I read many reviews about this book before I purchased and I also purchased the music CD. What nobody else mentioned in the reviews I read (that I was very excited about when I discovered it) was that the songs are not only written in Spanish but the English translation is on the same page! This is perfect for me because I'm an adult trying to learn Spanish. That's not all! If you are a musician, even just a beginner, the musical score is also on each song's page so you can play the songs yourself. The icing on the cake is that this book is beautifully and very colorfully illustrated.
De Colores and Other Latin-American Folk Songs for Children

I teach conversational Spanish to elementary school children and was looking for a songbook to make class more interesting. I kept coming across this book so I ordered it. I received it yesterday and fell in love with it. I immediately sat at the piano and started playing every song. The book is beautifully illustrated and the songs are easy to learn. I also liked that the lyrics were in English also. I recommend this book highly. In fact, I'm ordering the audio today.
Great songs to pass on to our kids!

My daughter LOVES to sing and this book was music to her little ears! I was surprised to see so many familiar songs in spanish, it brought back lots of memories of growing up. I was amazed at the diversity of songs from various spanish-speaking countries. These songs and their origins are a MUST to pass on to our children and future generations. I wish there was music that could accompany this awesome book!

A wonderful collection of Latin American songs & rhymes!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This is a fantastic collection of music for children in the elementary grades. Music and translations are also provided. The songs are traditional childhood songs and are a trememdous example of the oral tradition that continues in Latino culture today. This is an excellent resource for music and regular classroom teachers looking for authentic multicultural resources.
