5.0 out of 5 stars The best Spanish CD for kids!, August 16, 2006

I have ordered a number of different CDs in my quest to teach my kids some Spanish. All others have paled in comparison to this favorite. The songs are beautiful and fun! Unlike the children's CDs you have that grate on adult nerves, you'll be happy to hear this one again and again. I even listen to it when my kids aren't around. And, best of all, my children--ages 6 and 2--adore this album and have learned so many Spanish words and phrases that they recognize when we hear Spanish in other contexts. The songs have very clever lyrics, often arranged in a smooth alternation of Spanish and English, maintaining artful rhymes in both languages. I couldn't recommend this CD any more highly. Please help me convince Sol y Canto to record a follow-up children's CD!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and educational, March 31, 2004

I am a bilingual mom raising 3 kids in NJ. Dad doesn't speak spanish and neither do our neighbors. Teaching them spanish has been a challenge. This CD is excellent. The songs are kid-friendly and have great latin rhythms. The kids are picking up phrases and hearing proper linguistics. Can't wait for volume 2!
