This book is a spin on the song "Mary Had a Little Lamb." ( )

This was another multilingual read-aloud, this time with the Spanish built right in. The story is familiar and short, and the illustrations are warm, friendly, and inviting. This worked very well for a multilingual story time, and it has great potential for a smaller read-together with young language learners. Careful, though, or you'll have every kid wanting una llamita of their very own. ( )

The "Mary Had A Little Lamb" rhyme easily becomes Maria Tenia Una Llamita. English and Spanish text on each page means you can read the rhyme through once in English and once in Spanish, or read both as you go. Either way, it flows smoothly. And I challenge anyone to find me a lamb as cute as this llama!

"Peruvian-inspired illustrations" made with gouache and ink on watercolor board. ( )

This is much like the classic nursery rhyme,Mary had a Little Lamb, but with Latin characters. Includes Spanish and English text. Would be great for teaching English to Spanish speakers or vice versa. ( )

An old familiar nursery rhyme- but I love that it is in English and Spanish. Many cultural elements from Peru are incorporated as well. ( )
