Critic Reviews

"Gathering fresh material, Ada and colleagues expand the scope of ¡Pío Peep! Traditional Spanish Nursery Rhymes (2003)...Suárez decorates the pages with smiling, round-faced, sweet-looking children and animals bouncing about exuberantly."--Kirkus Reviews
"The translations are faithful to the originals, conveying the charm and tenderness of the Spanish...illustrations are delightful and feature children of color in many different cultural settings."--Children's Literature
"This lovely compendium...is a perfect example of translation as an art form."--School Library Journal
"This packed-to-the-gills volume [draws] from the rich traditions of Spanish-speaking cultures...native Spanish speakers wanting to share favorite rhymes with children will relish this book's breadth -- and young speakers of either language will appreciate the bouncing rhythms and nonsense fun."--Booklist
"Those who plan bilingual storytimes will find extensive transitional material, and kids interested or skilled in the Spanish language will find plenty to pore over in this book. Spanish-speaking families, who can read the poems together and share childhood recollections inspired by the entries, will particularly benefit from this extensive collection of verse."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
