Summary: Language good, songs appalling!
Comment: This book/CD set comprises numerous short songs sung in spanish by spanish children. The book includes a simple music score (on one line, for flute/recorder/one hand on the piano!) and the words, with examples of further verses (should you wish to make the songs longer than the version on the CD), good diagrams of actions, and opportunities to add some percussion instruments. The idea behind the set is very good - giving the children a chance to really join in, making language fun for children. This is where the set earns 2 stars!
I bought the French version of this book, and felt that the songs were great for children to listen to, but a bit advanced in it's language - well, this spanish version is the opposite!
The songs on the CD are awful - the quality of the recording is very poor, the tunes are non-descript and sometimes the words are unclear. It's a shame as the songs are about such great things as colours, numbers, greetings and other useful basic language.
I would say that this book is only worth buying if you yourself are musical and will play the songs with your children/class - so as to avoid the awful CD. If your children can read, they might pick up quite a bit from reading the transcript as the CD is playing - but they could equally learn the same information from better resources.

Summary: Another set of songs please
Comment: I think this is a brilliant c.d. with catchy songs and lively tunes. I have bought this for my niece to take to Chile where she is going to be teaching orphans, and although their first language is spanish, I think these songs are so cheerful that they will enjoy singing them.
Customer Rating:
Summary: best for younger children
Comment: Unlike the other reviewer, I actually liked these songs. I wish I could get something similar for my older children though, as this is aimed (in my view) at younger children.
I've learnt lots from it and so have the children!

Summary: Disappointing compared with French songs book
Comment: The French songs book of the same publisher has MUCH better music and catch tunes - I found the Spanish ones to be really dry and unenticing by comparison. Just my 2 cents...
