Product Description
Singer-songwriter José-Luis Orozco has assembled a collection of finger rhymes and other action songs from Latin America. Including favorites such as "The Wheels on the Bus" as well as folk songs from a variety of Spanish-speaking countries, Diez Deditos is a treat for the eyes, ears, and fingers. Lyrics are presented in both English and Spanish, and easy-to-follow musical accompaniment and diagrams for the corresponding actions are also provided. As in the companion volume De Colores, bright collage illustrations by Elisa Kleven complete the appeal of this fun-filled book.

LOVE IT March 1, 2010
Elizabeth Marruffo
We all love these songs and the book. My son has listened since he was a newborn and now at 16 months does all the actions and asks for more. Love Jose Luis Orozcos voice too it is very calming and relaxing. Such a good way to have Spanish on in the background in an English speaking country. The illustrations in the book are wonderful too with lots of things going on to hold their attention.
Great for singing, reading and looking December 19, 2008
Suzy Black (London)
The songs are great, the translations are good (they so often aren't) and the pictures are fantastic. My daughter pores over them for ages, looking for tiny cats or dogs, or babies, and we sing the songs together, or just read them.
Great Songs! October 28, 2007
Jessmarie842 (Portland, OR USA)
I teach preschool and the kids love these songs! I really like that each song has hand gestures to do along which keeps the kids engaged on the song. I also ordered the CD soundtrack which makes it easier for me to memorize songs and the kids love to sing along with it.
high quality music comes from our roots October 21, 2007
D. Cardinale (Houston, Texas United States)
I have used this CD for about 7 years as part of my prekinder bilingual curriculum, and it has been very successful with my students. Also, I know it is quality children's folk music because I have studied in detail children's folk music from Mexico, and most of these selections are easily validated as original folk music. You can be sure they are not contrived at all by adults for children. I recommend the book that goest with it, too.
Beautiful Illustrations January 15, 2007
