Customer Reviews

Los pollitos dicen
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.

An Adorable Book!
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.

Nice, but get the library edition
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.
