Grandmothers and grandfathers, uncles and aunts, parents and friends--everyone can share these rhymes, riddles, and lullabies with little children.
This bilingual collection introduces young children to the sounds of two languages. The verses work in both English and Spanish: read the poems in English to trip the tongue or tickle your fancy; read them in Spanish to practice rolling "r's"--or just sound out the syllables for the fun of it.
Nelly Jaramikllo's spirited text is matched by Elivia's warm, whimsical illustrations. Perfect for bedtime, learning time, or playtime, this collection will satisfy curious children every time.
