My son's preschool is about fifty-fifty English and Spanish speaking, so I've loved having this cd to share with his teachers and his friends. The songs are so much less irritating than some kids' music, and less bombastic than some popular Spanish-language kids' tapes (like Xuxa). It's charming for all listeners. I love the Day of the Dead song, too, since we don't come by those everyday on kids' cds. I have also found Jose Luis Orozco to be fun for this age and mix of kids, if you're looking for ideas.

Tish's lyrics are clearly enunciated and the words are printed in the CD companion booklet (in Spanish and English) making the CD an outstanding teaching tool for English and Spanish teachers. The clarity of her voice and the diversity of the songs make the compilation a pleasure to listen to. The listener gets not only enjoyable music but also learns about issues and traditions important to the Mexican and Mex-Tex communities. The best bilingual CD for children of all times!!!!

One of the best bilingual albums for kids ever. One of our favorite songs is "Magnolia", a tribute to a dancing magnolia tree in the style of the Beatles' Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The pronunciation and lyrics are authentic and will help teach Spanish to the kids. An album both the parents and the children can listen to and enjoy. Tish Hinojsa includes her own children's trumpet and violin skills and neighborhood choirs in a charming touch. Even the liner notes were fun to read.

My 6 year old daughter has been a fan of Tish Hinojosa's music ever since I bought the CD years ago. Now there is an accompanying songbook available from Tish. The book includes the music and the lyrics as well as the most beautiful illustrations for each song which my daughter enjoys very much. My little girl takes Spanish classes at school and the wonderful words and melodies of Tish help her get the rhythm and the pronounciation of the Spanish language. And now that she can read the book helps her reinforce the words. Excellent!

Tish Hinojosa's voice is incredibly rich, and soothing to the soul. The meaning in the lyrics of "Every Child" gives me chills every time I hear them. When I get short tempered with my kids I put this on and we dance to it in the living room, and it gets us all in good moods again. In case the lyrics aren't posted on the description page, here they are: "Every child believes in good tomorrow brings. Every child's our faith to hold. What we leave behind and want them to find, Is what we are today. Laughter voices tender choices, Their love gives to us. Sad the day we take away Their sweet liberty"

She also has a beautiful lullaby and a tribute to her abuelita (beloved grandmother) on the CD (song #3), a playful swing song about vegetables dancing in the barnyard, and a great song about the Mexican women soldiers. Well. All the songs are unparalleled. And it's a nice touch that she sings the lyrics in English and then in Spanish.

I love Cada Nino - I am trying to learn Spanish and introduce it to my kids- I bought Muzzy - not a big crowd pleaser- I bought Musical Spanish- more for me than for them- and then I found Cada Nino - it is so pretty- the songs are great- I love that the words are included- I love Always Abuelita. What wonderful music- I actually feel like I know Tish and feel the love she has for her family and heritage.

Tish Hinojosa's Cada Nino/Every Child CD has been one of my favorites for a number of years. I am thrilled that she now has the accompanying songbook. The songs are published with melody and chords, so are easily accompanied with piano and/or guitar. Beautiful and fun music, outstanding illustrations, and the value of bilingual experiences...this book is a real winner for both English and Spanish speakers!

We don't know more than a handful of Spanish words in our household but this cd is one of our favorites. Each song is in Spanish and English and both parts are beautifully sung. Barnyard Dance is my 4-year old's favorite but I like Magnolia. Absolutely a great tool for those learning to speak Spanish, but also a great children's cd for anyone!

I teach high school Spanish and this CD was recommended to me by an online friend who is also a Spanish teacher. I used the song, "Hasta los muertos salen a bailar" to teach my students Day of the Dead (Día de los muertos) vocabulary. I thought that maybe they would hate it and think it was too childish for them, but the freshmen definitely got into it.

It's a great CD in general. Tish Hinojosa has a great, folksy voice and the songs are very singable. I enjoyed just listening to it at home by myself. I think it would be even more popular with Spanish teachers of elementary and middle school levels.

My 6 year old daughter has been a fan of Tish Hinojosa's music ever since I bought the CD years ago. Now there is an accompanying songbook available from Tish.
