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!!!!!

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!

We just got this CD, and it's already a favorite. My one year old daughter was banging on her carseat to the beat! Highly recommended, you'll be singing them all day long. :)

Not only is this a fun CD to sing to, it's great for helping English speaking children practice Spanish for their classes and vice versa!

This is a great CD! The first time I listened to it I thought, "Hmmm, it's ok". But the sencond, third, and every time after that first I couldn't get enough of it!! The songs are so catchy and fun!! My dauther is 7 months old and does her sitting dance everytime I put it on!! She loves it too!! You won't regret this purchase!
