This groundbreaking bilingual collection of traditional rhymes celebrates childhood and Latin American heritage--a perfect book for those learning Spanish and fluent speakers alike!
This edition comes complete with a beautiful produced CD of the text. Perfect for learning and enjoying, at home or in the classroom.
Passed down from generation to generation, the twenty-nine rhymes included have been lovingly selected by distinguished authors Alma Flor Ada and F. Isabel Campoy. English adaptations by Alice Schertle capture the spirit of each rhyme and have a charm all their own.
Accompanied by beautiful illustrations by Spanish artist Viv? Escriv?, this collection is destined to become a beloved classic for children already familiar with the rhymes as well as those encountering them for the first time.
From playing dress up to making tortillas, and from rising at daybreak to falling asleep, these joyful rhymes are sure to delight young readers.
In spanish and english the rhymes are sweet. It is the favorite book of one of my girls. I have to order it again because the first one has been in such demand (with young twins) that they destroyed the cover. Definately a good one to have on the bookshelf.

My son (1year) LOVES this book. Everyday he pulls the book of the shelf and insists that we read it. The CD is also great, although it only has select rhymes from the book. I wish there was another version of this book, b/c we are getting sick of reading it over and over. Great for bi-lingual children and families

This book is amazing! As a bilingual Pre-K teacher, I recommend this collection for every young class. The Spanish nursery rhymes are classics and the English adaptations help make the book even more enjoyable for bilingual readers. These poems make meaningful rhymes in both languages that are sure to delight!
