This book gives me a chance to learn not only in spanish but in english also! Excellent book with nursery rhymes and chants during games! Would rate higher though if it came with a cassette tape or CD to play along.

My daughter enjoys looking at the pictures in this cute little book. The traditional nursery rhymes that Spanish children usually learn are there. I can't really complain about this book. I don't think you'll have a very good time with this if you aren't proficient in Spanish enough to say the words. (Written Spanish is fairly easy to read. You may not know what you said, but it's pretty easy to pronounce.) I like this book and would recommend it for culture if nothing else.

El libro es muy bonito, los dibujos son preciosos y las canciones bonitas. A mi gusta el formato, el tamaño del libro, los colores...

I agree with the positive reviews, but I don't know why the publisher recommends it for ages 4 to 8. My 2-year-old has learned and sings the songs triumphantly. The library edition is simply a hardcover edition of the book bound with the original colorful cover rather than a dustcover. Since it is a good book to keep, I recommend the more expensive edition.

I purchased this for sentimental reasons. Not having my mother around after my first born came into this world, I needed a book to refresh my memory on Chilean nursery rhymes told to me as a child. This book did just that.

I bought this book for my daughter because I remember some of the rhymes from when I was a child. The english translations are good but cannot be sung to the same rhythm as the spanish versions. I am not familiar with all of the songs so a CD would have been great. I'm happy with the purchase though.

It's a nice looking book and has some great songs and rhymes. I don't read music really well, so I have make up the tunes as I go along. My mom used to sing me the title song, and the rhymes are great - especially 1-2-3 CHOCOLATE. Would receive 5 if there was a CD. Authentic Latin-American collection.

The vocabulary is basic enough, however, due to the way the songs are translated, it is dificult to sing to the same rhythm... Maybe after Spanish 3 I will be able to figure this out?

*Me disculpo si la traducción está apagada.*
El vocabulario es bastante básico, sin embargo, debido a la manera que se traducen las canciones, él es el dificult a cantar al mismo ritmo... ¿Quizá después del español 3 podré calcular esto hacia fuera?

This book is very enjoyable. The translations are top notch and it is fun for the whole family! My kids love it! We sing and clap and dance and sing some more!
