Great guidebook for librarians and teachers that are wanting to start or expand their Bilingual Programs. It contains songs, nursery rhyes, fingerplays in both English and Spanish.

[Tracey]

storytime rhymes and songs. Separate chapters for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and school age. TONS of cute rhymes to learn, some of them are easier than others for a gringa like me. I will work on incorporating a few into my storytime rotation, then revisit in a year or so and add some more. Bueno!
