The riddles in this book, in both Spanish and English, represent a wide variety of types from the poetic to those with hidden or double meaning. The patterns are representative of the early colcha embroidery designs from Spanish colonial times in New Mexico when embroidery was a major handicraft.

This review is from: Spanish Riddles & Colcha Designs / Adivinanzas españolas y diseños de colcha (Paperback)
This is a little jewel of a book. Spanish teachers looking for "bell work" ideas or "sponge" activities will enjoy this extensive riddle collection featured along with their English translation. At the same time, anyone solely interested in the language or the culture will be entertained by this book in a charming way. Both adults and children will have lots fo fun solving the riddles together. The colcha designs add an extra cultural dimension to this entertaining book.

Interesting for the first two or three pages. I thought it would open up the culture of the designs and riddles more.
