3.0 out of 5 stars Great book ..disappointing CD, August 18, 2008

By 

AraRom (Queensland, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pio Peep! Book and CD (Hardcover)

The Pio Peep book is wonderful, with lots & lots of traditional rhymes! However, the English translations are often inaccurate, I imagine for the sake creating an English interpretation that rhymes! The book is also great quality which is something that I have found lacking in children's Spanish books ie paper thickness & texture, print quality & colour intensity etc.
The CD is very disappointing. The Spanish songs last a total of 10 minutes followed by the poorly translated english versions. If only the CD featured more Spanish renditions of the wonderful rimas featured within the book!
Would I buy it again? Perhaps just the book!

Great bilingual book and CD. The CD had great music on it in both Spanish and English. Great way to introduce traditional Spanish poems and music to your young on.
