Traditional Hispanic rhymes with an animal theme

The illustrations help to understand the poems, Some of the different poems reminded me of stories I had heard in the past. could help to bridge the gap between to cultures for a student. Was not my favorite book.

I wasn't particularly enthused by the poetry in this bilingual nursery rhyme book - poetry translation is always hard and I feel like the Spanish didn't translate smoothly. But I do like the vibrant art of Vivi Escriva. I have a vague feeling that we already own this title, but it was just published so either we own something similar or I have been seeing it a lot in catalogs and reviews. I think we can use some of these rhymes in storytime - my colleague has a Spanish-speaking woman coming to do some music at her baby and toddler evening storytime and we might do some storytelling at some point. I'm also thinking of ESL connections that might want to use this....
