Always blinking,

at night winking."

What is it?


Grandmothers and grandfathers, uncles and aunts, parents and friends--everyone can share these rhymes, riddles, and lullabies with little children.

This bilingual collection introduces young children to the sounds of two languages. The verses work in both English and Spanish: read the poems in English to trip the tongue or tickle your fancy; read them in Spanish to practice rolling "r's"--or just sound out the syllables for the fun of it.

Nelly Palacio Jaramillo's spirited text is matched by Elivia Savadier's warm, whimsical illustrations. Perfect for bedtime, learning time, or playtime, this collection will satisfy curious children every time.

Answer: the stars

Aserrín, aserrán

los maderos de San Juan
piden queso,
piden pan.


Abuelos y abuelas, tíos y tías, padres, madres y amistades—todos pueden compartir estas canciones de cuna, trabalenguas, y adivinanzas de Suramérica con las niñas y los niños pequeños.

Esta colección bilingüe es ideal para presentarles los sonidos de dos lenguas a los niños. Los versos funcionan en inglés y español: lea los poemas en inglés para divertirse con un trabalenguas; léalos en español para practicar decir la letra “r” o simplemente pronunciar el sonido de cada sílaba.

El texto energético escrito por Nelly Palacio Jaramillo es la pareja ideal para las ilustraciones tiernas y fantásticas de Elivia Savadier. Grandmother’s Nursery Rhymes es perfecto para la hora de dormir, de jugar, o de aprendizaje. Esta colección satisfará la curiosidad de los niños y las niñas cada vez.
