Pio Peep! (RPKG): Traditional Spanish Nursery Rhymes Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

El sol es de oro

la luna es de plata

y las estrellitas

son de hoja de lata.

The sun's a gold medallion.

The moon's a silver ball.

The little stars are only tin;

I love them best of all.

Here is a groundbreaking bilingual collection of traditional rhymes that celebrates childhood and Spanish and Latin American heritage. From playing dress up to making tortillas, and from rising at daybreak to falling asleep, these joyful rhymes are sure to delight young readers.

Passed down from generation to generation, the twenty-nine rhymes included have been lovingly selected by distinguished authors Alma Flor Ada and F. Isabel Campoy. English adaptations by Alice Schertle capture the spirit of each rhyme and have a charm all their own. Accompanied by enchanting illustrations by Spanish artist Viví Escrivá, this collection is destined to become a beloved classic for children already familiar with the rhymes as well as those encountering them for the first time.

Synopsis:

This exuberant "Hispanic Mother Goose"--a groundbreaking bilingual collection--features 29 of the best-known nursery rhymes in the Spanish-speaking world that celebrate childhood and heritage. Full color.
