As with Jaramillo's very successful previous books, the book is constructed concertina fashion, thus giving both languages equal value. Both the Spanish and English versions have identical illustrations; the English text varies slightly from the Spanish to account for rhyme and measure. Here's looking forward to the addition of more books to this delightful series.

As with Jaramillo's very successful previous books, the book is constructed concertina fashion, thus giving both languages equal value. Both the Spanish and English versions have identical illustrations; the English text varies slightly from the Spanish to account for rhyme and measure. Here's looking forward to the addition of more books to this delightful series. Filled with playful and colorfully painted animals by Venezuelan illustrator Jaramillo, you are swept up in a visual sing-along of a beloved rhyme. The book's sturdy pages and flaps are great for little fingers, and the accordion format is unique: the Spanish side opens to the Spanish text, but if you flip the book, the opposite is true for the English text. Adorable and interactive, including links to an app featuring a sing-along video in six languages. Rosie Camargo, Booklist
